Same build as its northern neighbours and is the southernmost of a short late C19th terrace running towards the south west from the large building at the junction of Biggin Street with Worthington Street (No 56 Biggin Street). The ground floor has a modern commercial use, it may have originally been two separate commercial premises as it is divided centrally by a pilaster. It is largely glazed with two wide windows with stall risers below, located on either side of the central pilaster. The areas below these windows are in brick laid in basket bond. There are three doors one at either end of the façade immediately abutting the party walls and a third located on the northern side of the central pilaster. The northernmost most gives access to upper floors of the dwelling next door (No. 9), the southernmost gives access to the upper floors of this building and the central gives access to the ground floor, all open directly onto the street. A large fascia containing the commercial signage with metallic flashing above stretches across the whole of the ground floor façade apart from a small section at the far northern end where part of the original fascia is still visible. The upper floors are in a red brick and may be divided into two bays with two windows per floor in each of the bays, again this suggests that this building was originally constructed as two premises. Directly above the ground floor is a small stone string course which forms a continuous sill for the first-floor windows, this is badly weathered/damaged. The first-floor windows have flat gauged brick arches above while the second floor windows have rounded upper halves and corresponding semi-circular brick arches above, these windows align across the floors. These also have small stone sills, all of which have decorative stone brackets beneath, these are quite weathered and worn. There is a brick parapet with stone coping over the second floor, this is at the same level as the parapet on the building on its northern side (No. 9). The brickwork on this parapet is badly discoloured and stained. There are four small dormer windows located behind this parapet, these align with the windows on the floors below and have highly ornate surrounds and rounded upper halves. Some of these surrounds are badly cracked and damaged, with one side of one falling away. There are two metal gutter down pipes located at each end of the façade near the party walls. These are painted black and likely original. The water runs through a gap at the top of the second floor, down to base of the first floor, below which it runs behind a pilaster down to the pavement level. There is a stone pilaster at the first floor level over the south western party wall, this continues at the second floor level but here it forms a quoined edge to the building. A number of untidy modern features are attached to the façade, including multiple small vents and a security system wiring. There is a small amount of vegetation growth at the parapet level and a fair amount of weathering and discolouration to the architectural features and brickwork, particularly at the upper level. Despite this the building appears to be structurally sound.

The ground floor has a modern commercial use and is largely glazed. There are three doors one at either end of the façade immediately abutting the party walls and a third which is mostly glazed, located on the northern side of the central pilaster, all are modern and in timber. All of these doors have windows located over the transom, the northern is large and square, the southern is narrow and rectangular while the central is divided into two small rectangles, all appear to be fixed. There are two large rectangular windows, on one either side of the central pilaster, these are divided into 16 panes by timber glazing bars and all appear to be fixed apart from the top row of four which are awning. All the ground floor door and window frames are in timber. There are four windows at the first floor level, these may be divided into two pairs with a large gap between the pairs. All are relatively tall and narrow timber framed sashes with two large panes. The second floor windows align with those on the first floor, these are also timber framed sashes but differ from those on the first floor in that they have a rounded upper half. They are divided in to four panes each (two in the upper part and two in the lower part) by timber glazing bars. The dormer windows located behind the brick parapet were not clearly seen but also appear to be timber framed sashes divided into four panes. These have highly decorative surrounds with rounded upper halves. The windows on the first and second floor level are likely original, as are the dormer windows, whereas the ground floor is all a later insertion. The paintwork on the windows and frames on the upper levels is chipped and untidy, and there is some severe damage to the surrounds of the dormer windows but otherwise all appear to be in a good condition with all panes present. The modern ground floor windows and doors are in a good condition.

The roof is set back slightly from the main façade, behind a small brick parapet. It is mansard and in slate – the slates are rounded on the bottom end (suggesting they are machine cut?). There are four small dormer windows aligning with the windows on the floors below. The roof structure appears to be shared with the building on its north eastern side. There are four brick stacks, two are located over the south western party wall, the first located towards the front of the building and the second located at the ridge of the roof another is located centrally and the fourth over the north eastern party wall. There is a small amount of vegetation growth located behind the parapet. Though only a small portion of the roof was seen, it appears to be in a good condition.

Late C19th building likely originally two separate premises, southern end of a short terrace which runs south westerly from No 56 Biggin Street and shares a number of architectural details with these. Worthington Street (which was previously a very narrow lane) was widened in the 1890’s suggesting that this is when this building was constructed. (1)
