SHOPS - Physical Description 1
The pre-World War I single storey shops at nos 2-14 Holmes Road and 1-5 Norwood Crescent are constructed in the Edwardian style. Roofs are terra-cotta marseille tiles with decorative terracotta ridge tiles, and dormer windows centrally located in the roof. The dormer windows consist of a decorative gable or roof vents. The roofs are segmented by the brick dividing walls. The corner shop is accentuated by a hipped roof that terminates in a broad turret formation at the corner. The Norwood Crescent shopfronts are almost intact whereas the shops along Holmes Road have undergone more dramatic changes below the parapet. The Norwood Crescent shops have intact early metal shop fronts with widening base walls, segmented glazing and angled ingos. The 1919 shopfronts are representative of more simple early inter war shopfronts with typical features such as the rendered arched parapet, cantilevered verandahs, ceramic tiled plinths and side strips. Most of these shopfronts windows have now been replaced.
