Description
Group of builduings designed in 1906
The first commercial development in the conservation area, these four shops were started in 1906. Built by J C Richards. Two pairs of semi-detached buildings - three storeys high with half-timbered gables facing the road. First floor projects over the ground floor shops and there are oriel windows on the first and second floors (at 3/5) with second floor slightly jettied so the buildings appear staggered forward rather like Elizabethan tall jettied buildings. Tall chimney stack on eastern wall. Black and white tiled floor preserved at 3/5 and no. 5 has a rare curved glass shop window, and has retained its recessed central shop door. Some original polished granite stall risers and columns. The console brackets either side of the sloping fascias are a feature of Gerrards Cross shops. Designed in 1906 by Kerkham Burgess and Myers. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Gerrards Cross Centenary. (B1).
