Canteen, 84 Vintner Street (elevation onto Harvey Street), view from SW. The building behind retains some earlier brickwork dating from between 1867 and 1896 (building footprint does not exist before 1867 according to the Ordnance Survey map). Both these buildings are harled obscuring the age of the structures. Note the blocked cart entrance to the left of the bright red door.

Canteen, 84 Vintner Street (elevation onto Harvey Street), and Stores at 90 Vintner Street, view from SW. The gable end of no. 90 retains some earlier brickwork dating from between 1867 and 1896 (building footprint does not exist before 1867 according to the Ordnance Survey map). Both these buildings are harled thus obscuring the age of the structures. Note the blocked cart entrance to the left of the bright red door.

General stores, 90 Vintner Street, view from NW. This much rebuilt structure appears to follow the footprint depicted on the 1896 Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map but not on the 1867 map. The partial harling obscures the nature of the building.
