Appraisal

No. 41, Monmouth Street

A four-storey Victorian property, formerly A. France & Son, Funeral Directors, with a much altered shopfront, painted inappropriately in lime-yellow. The original dentil cornice of the shopfront survives. The elevation is faced in London stock brick with red brick dressings, with two subdivided sash windows at first, second and third floor levels. The fascia carries applied internally-illuminated lettering. An inappropriate, internally-illuminated projecting box sign is located on the corbelled pilaster at the right hand end of the shopfront, also finished in lime-yellow.

An unlisted property of modest townscape value contributing to the character, appearance and significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.

Every opportunity should be taken to repaint the shopfront in an appropriate dark colour and to remove the existing projecting box sign and substitute a well designed, traditional projecting hanging sign.
