Statement of Significance
The two rows (226-32, 234-40) combine to create an important part of the nineteenth century High Street elevation, combining further with the Wallis Buildings (qv) opposite, to create a strong Victorian-era precinct.
234-240 High Street is one of a number of important Victorian shop rows in this area, providing a strong visual continuity in the streetscape leading up to the Town Hall.

234-240 High Street - Physical Description 1
Almost identical to the row to the south, Nos 226-232 (qv) and 234-40 High Street differ only in its greater decorative richness and narrower frontage. The buildings have similar parapets, but without pediments and bracketed cornices. The original parapet urns have been removed. Double hung sash windows are grouped in pairs and have rendered moulded architraves, sills and hoods. Original shopfronts and verandahs have been replaced. A verandah has recently been added to No 236.
