Appraisal

No. 48, Neal Street

Defining the corner of Neal Street and Short’s Gardens, with a return-elevation to Short’s Gardens, the four-storey no. 48, Neal Street is an early-19th century reconstruction of the original late-17th century building and retains a well restored early-19th century shopfront with pilasters and decorative console brackets flanking the fascia – presently and regrettably, painted white. Pairs of 2-over-2 subdivided sash-windows at first, second and third floor levels. A centrally located projecting bracket at first floor level awaits an hanging sign.

An unlisted building of particular architectural interest and townscape value, contributing positively to the character, appearance and significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.

The pilasters have lost their simple bases and moulded capitals which could easily be added. The fascia would benefit from sign writing and the shopfront should be painted a traditional dark colour.
