Description

Designed by Architects Goodey & Cressall in 1924, who also designed the similar (already locally listed) 23 Drury Road in 1926. This is a single storey building designed to provide three shop units for the Colchester Co-Operative Society, for grocery, confectionary and butchery. The front façade is clad in creamy coloured faience, mimicking stone. The pilasters have art-deco enrichment, matching the original shopfront which survives intact. The inset entrance doors with their canted flank walls give additional interest to the shopfront. The large fascia signage area is currently covered with an unsympathetic plastic sign but the surround appears to be partially present behind. It is unlikely that the original raised lettering or divisions across the fascia survive but the building is nevertheless well preserved and its quality is worthy of recognition.
