Northcote Buildings
A grand Gothic Venetian window dominates each floor and Venner’s has preserved its frontage almost in tact.

Built by W M Robbins as part of the redevelopment of Church Street in the
1870’s, he like many Victorians liked pattern and colour and he used a
variety of materials to produce it. Black, yellow and red bricks, as well
as free-store and ironworks give a lively and busy frontage. There are
touches of Gothic in the occasional pointed window arch but Robbins has
devised a style of his own, which must have required the most expert
bricklaying.
