The building on the left side of the road opening is a bay on an extended front. I couldn't find anything to match it. The Queens Road Supply Stores is an odd building too. Is it in a directory? |

The store hasn’t changed that much has it, a variety of paint jobs and the glazed structure upstairs is now covered with tiles. Thanks ladies. ![]() |

Those houses must be over 100 years old so it’s a wonder they have survived! I also didn’t think they had dormer windows in the early 20th century, could even be late 19th. |
