19 King Street



19 King Street is a Grade II Listed building built circa 1880 with a Twentieth Century shop front.  The listing comments describe the building as featuring, “... an arcaded range of 4-light windows on each upper floor: slim cast-iron columns at 1st floor with arched open-work brackets, round-headed windows to 2nd floor with set-in shafts, enriched imposts and linked  hood moulds with large mask keystones (male and female alternately, all cheerful and stylish); shouldered windows to 3rd floor; parapet.”





When I took these images in October of 2014, the building was home to a branch of Jigsaw.  In the 1890s Goodall & Company occupied 13, 15 and 17 King Street and described themselves as, "Carpet & Floor Cloth Warehousemen, Cabinet Makers, Upholsterers & Decorators."  The Goad map of 1889 seems to suggest that Goodall's actually occupied numbers 15 to 21.
