21-23, Neal Street
21-23 Neal Street is the return elevation of the grade II listed no. 34, Shelton Street. It is a handsome survivor from the early-19th century brewery buildings, four-storeys high of yellow stock brick.
It has 2-over-2 subdivided sash windows on the upper floors, and a console bracketed cornice and frieze extending around each elevation above the second floor level windows. A cornice and frieze, painted gloss black, extends around each elevation above the shopfront openings at ground floor level, supported on black painted, rusticated piers at the end of each elevation, at the corner, and to each side of the double height opening at the right hand end of the Shelton Street elevation, providing access into Old Brewery Yard.
There are orange glazed brickwork pilasters on the Shelton Street frontage with simple, modern shopfronts on each elevation. The windows at first, second and third floor levels on the Shelton Street elevation have 6-over-6 subdivided sash-windows.
The building is of special architectural and historic interest and of considerable townscape value, contributing to the character, appearance and significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.
It is recommended that the black paint at ground floor level be removed or overpainted in a more appropriate colour.
