This grade II listed building (ca 1900) was originally a pub and then the International Hotel. A pretty, wedge-shaped ‘flamboyant renaissance stye’ building, it was damaged by fire in 2014 and is now being renovated into apartments. However progress is less complete than the exterior might suggest, and appears to have stalled. The basement is partly scaffolded to the first floor, but the roof is finished and rather good quality new windows installed on the upper floors (the windows apparently never had glazing bars). Visited with urban chemist junior who dutifully took some of the better pics (to cheer him up we then went on a quick tour of the wonderfully filthy Commodore Lithographs). Pictures go from the basement up.
The remains of cricket pads on the right - crumble when touched.
