It is listed primarily for its unusual late 19th century front elevation of cast iron arcades with decorated spandrels. It is situated in the Hat & Feathers Conservation Area and is adjacent to the St Luke’s Conservation Area on the north-east fringes of Clerkenwell. This was an area of manufacturing and engineering in the 19th century, and since the 1980s it has undergone a regeneration with many 19th century buildings being converted to office and studio uses for creative industries, bringing back some of the vibrancy the area had in the nineteenth century.
