Formerly the Holt Brewery Co. Ltd offices, built and dated 1906. At fascia level on the corner, a Holt squirrel in terracotta. On the south elevation, partly obscured by a modern pub sign and several inserted windows, is a faded painted sign: 'HOLT BREWERY CO LTD ... BREWERS OF (obscured) MALT ALES & STOUTS'.
