Appraisal

No. 25 and 25a, Neal Street

Nos. 25 and 25a, Neal Street comprise the return elevation of the grade II listed block fronting Earlham Street (nos. 29–43 odd) and Short’s Gardens (nos. 8-26 even) – a handsome and substantially scaled example of 19^thcentury industrial architecture.

Built in 1882 as a warehouse for Combe Delafield and Company’s Wood Yard Brewery, the elevation to Neal Street is an austerely noble design of stock brick, rising through three, giant stories, comprising three bays with doubled reveals and segmental headed arched window openings at ground floor level and deep, segmental headed arched window openings at first and second floor levels. The cills of the original ground floor window openings including that at the splay corner, have been dropped to floor level and the edges provided with grey granite jambs. Deeply set, subdivided casement windows at first and second floor levels, with modern, fully glazed windows at ground floor level set in neat, black finish frames.

A building of special architectural and historic interest and of townscape value, contributing positively to the character, appearance and significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.

This building is an example of good, understated maintenance which should be continued in the future.
