Description and History of Site:-
Three storey building executed in a vaguely Flemish style comprising two shops, a café and a bakery with stables. Shortly afterwards further shops were added to the west. Erected for George Whitley & Son, confectioners and caterers, to the designs of architects Joseph F. Walsh and Graham S. Nicholas. The bakery was still in operation during 1936 under the style of Lewis Bakeries, a business still flourishing in 1951-52. The bakery no longer operates and the whole block is now occupied by retail shops.
