Building record 3738/0/35 - 23 Prince Street

A three storey shoe factory built between 1884 and 1899 that stands on the south side of Princes Street and is characterised by an unusually tall ground floor and irregular fenestration to the second floor, features which may suggest that it was not a conventional shoe factory. The exterior is now rendered but the openings, for the most part at least, are original. In use as a curriers during the early 20th century.

{1} Three-storeyed, six-bay factory characterised by an unusually tall ground floor and irregular fenestration to the second floor, features which may suggest that it was not a conventional shoe factory. The exterior is rendered but the openings, for the most part, are original. To the rear there is a two-storeyed projection, shown on the 1899 OS map and probably original. A two-storeyed lean-to against the east gable was added after 1899. The sills differ and there are no iron frames. Behind it is a 20th-century single-storeyed range.
