Nos. 21 & 23 Mercer Street

Listed at grade II, no 21, Mercer Street comprises a late-17^th century, three-storey, two bay house, re-fronted in later years and a ‘shopfront’ with slim Tuscan pilasters added in the early 19^th century - sensitively restored as an integral part of Terry Farrell and Partners’ Comyn Ching Triangle development in 1985-87. The upper storeys are faced in painted render. The windows serving the upper floors comprise 6-over-6 subdivided sashes. The black-painted, flush-beaded, timber ‘shopfront’ contains two, 2-over-4 subdivided sashes. There is a modern but appropriate numbered 'label' attached to the fascia.

The rendering of the upper storeys requires modest repair and re-painting.

Listed at grade II, no. 23, Mercer Street comprises a narrow, four-storey warehouse of stock brick with red brick dressings and interesting fenestration, including three pairs of inward-opening doors and fold-down flaps at first, second and third floor levels. It was erected in 1894 by the builders Killby & Gayford for Messrs. Pankhurst & Co., and has now been well converted to residential as an integral part of Terry Farrell and Partners’ Comyn Ching Triangle development in 1985-1987. There is a modern but appropriate numbered 'label' attached to the fascia.

Both properties are of special architectural and historic interest and townscape value, contributing to the character, appearance and significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.

It is important that the entire group of four historic buildings comprising nos. 19, 21, 25 and 27 is maintained to the same high standards in the future.
