Description
Three-storey commercial premises, formerly Williamson's clothing shop, one of the town's oldest businesses (the Williamson's family home was next door at No.2). A building is shown on the site on the 1876 OS Map, but this appears to have been rebuilt in its present form by the time of the 1908 map. The shop front now has a modern infill and appears now to be an office with accommodation above.
Identified as a Building at Risk in Conservation Management Plan.
Included in the Redruth Neighbourhood Plan consultation list of Non-Designated Assets for Protection.
