Nos. 10-12 and 14, Shelton Street
Two, conjoined, four-storey blocks of characteristic late-19th century industrial housing, comprising ten dwellings built by the Mercers' Company, now accessed from just one entrance at no. 14, Shelton Street.
The street frontages comprise two bays to the left hand side and three bays to the right hand side, faced in London Stock brick with flat arched window openings containing subdivided, sash windows with robustly detailed, painted, cast-iron window-guards fixed to the stone cills.
Each part of the street elevation carries the carved stone Mercers’ Company’s demi-Virgin heraldic device – ‘The Mercers’ Maiden’ feature at high level.
The property makes a positive contribution to the character, appearance and significance of the Covent Garden Conservation Area.
It is recommended that the ‘Mercers’ Maiden’ features should be painted in the correct heraldic colours and flower-boxes added to the window cills at each level, thus introducing colour into this side of the street.
