Number 36 is a former late eighteenth-century house, altered in the mid-nineteenth century with three storeys, a dormered attic and balustraded parapet. The name, "H. Blairman & Sons" can be seen on a canvas sun awning. The company dealt in antique furniture. The building is Grade II listed; listing number 1224393. The ground floor of number 37 is trading as, "Gerald Austin", a men's fashion retailer. The mezzanine floor above has a semi-circular window displaying the name, "Napoleon's Suede & Leather" and signs for "Made To Measure" and "Retail" are in view. Mannequins can be seen in the window.
