Late C19th building, only survival of a block of C19th terraced buildings which were either demolished or destroyed by bombing during the second world war. Differs drastically in scale to the buildings on either side of it which are much smaller and are later. No 20 further down Worthington Street to the south west is of a similar style and scale. Tall and narrow building with a former commercial use of the ground floor (is currently un-occupied). Some of the original shop front details survive at the ground floor level including the fluted pilasters over the party walls, the console over the pilasters, the fascia running across the top of the ground floor and the cornice over the fascia, which protrudes slightly from the façade. All these features are painted in a light cream coloured paint. A waste water down pipe is located over the southern pilaster, it runs through a gap in the south western party wall at the first floor level down to the pavement level, and appears to be a modern plastic pipe. The door, which is located in the southern half of the ground floor and large window which occupies the northern half, appear to be later replacements. There are two small vents located below this large window possibly suggesting the presence of a basement below the building. The upper floors are in brick with stone detailing. The first floor has a very large oriel bay window, the base of which rests directly upon the cornice over the fascia of the ground floor. This window is likely original. It is divided into five parts by timber mullions and has a metal roof. There is a stone string course at the top of this floor aligning with the base of the roof on the bay. There is a further stone string course at the second floor level, forming a continuous sill for the second floor window. This window is a large, semi-circular Diocletian style window with a stone surround and three openings separated by timber mullions. Above this there is a steeply pitched gable end, there is a slight parapet over this gable with stone coping and a decorative semi-circular pediment in stone located at its apex. There are decorative stone pilasters located over both of the party walls running from the top of the ground floor (over the consoles) to the parapet over the roof level. The upper parts of both party walls are visible above the smaller neighbouring buildings, these are both also in brick, the northern is painted. The upper part of the southern party wall is in a different brick suggesting that it has been repaired. Several modern features are attached to the façade including a security system as well as a large light which is attached to the gable end over the second floor window. The wiring for these features is untidy, particularly at the ground floor level where some of it looks redundant. Some of the architectural features located across the façade are slightly weathered, including the pilasters and the cornice over the fascia. Some of the brickwork is also stained and weathered, particularly at the upper levels. Despite this the building appears to be structurally sound and there are no major cracks in the brickwork.

The ground floor openings are modern and for a (former – the building is currently un-occupied) commercial use. It is largely glazed with a large window occupying just over half of the façade, on its north eastern side. The door has two large glazed panels, one in the upper half and the other in the lower. There are three rectangular louvred windows located above the larger window and door, one above the transom over the door and two over the window. There is a final narrow rectangular (vertical) window located within the gap between the door and the pilaster over the party wall. All of these windows and the door have timber frames painted a light cream colour. The first floor window is very large, occupying the majority of the first floor façade. It consists of a large timber oriel bay window, painted white and divided into five parts by timber mullions. The outer two parts are rounded and fixed, all are divided into two (an upper and a lower) parts by timber transoms, the lower part being over double the height of the upper. The central three sections appear to be sash but this is not certain. There is a cornice at the top of the bay directly beneath a metallic roof. The second floor window is a large, semi-circular Diocletian style window with a stone surround and three openings separated by timber mullions. The windows are casement with timber frames painted white. The paintwork on both the first and second floor windows is cracked and chipped but otherwise the windows appear to be in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof structure is cross gabled with gable ends over both party walls and the cross gable end facing Worthington Street. The ridge of the cross does not meet the ridge of the main roof structure which is steeply pitched with the apex at a higher level. The roof is in slate with metallic flashing over the ridges. It appears to be in a good condition with no obvious slipped tiles or bowing. There are two brick stack over the southwestern party wall, on towards the front of the building and the other towards the rear. (1)
