Appraisal

Nos. 3-7, Neal Street

With a robustly detailed, London Stock brick faced elevations, nos. 3-7, Neal Street form surviving parts of the Combe Delafield and Company’s former Wood Yard Brewery of the 1830s, listed at grade II.

Nos. 3-7 rise through ground and three upper levels and comprise six bays at first, second and third floor levels. Subdivided, timber framed windows at first floor level contained with segmental arched openings; subdivided, timber framed windows at second and third floor levels contained within two-storey, rebated, semi-circular headed, arched recesses, recalling Sir John Soane’s work at Dulwich Picture Gallery. Regrettably, the three modern, timber framed shopfronts at ground floor level are of little value and painted white, together with the brick piers between. There is an early-20th century gas lamp.

The property is of special architectural and historic interest and of townscape value, contributing positively to the character, appearance and significance of the Covent Garden Conservation Area,

It is recommended that the render and over-painting of the brickwork should be removed and the shopfronts repainted in appropriate colours with appropriate signing.
