136. Hanover Street.
The original buildings consisted for the most part of main door houses with flats above them. Some have been entirely rebuilt, but the majority have survived although in almost every case the lower part has been converted into a shop and some of them now have an additional storey. On the E. side of the street there remain Numbers 3, 7, 21-27, 37-41, 77, 79-89, 91-93, 95-99, 105-107, 115-117, while on the W. side there are Numbers 4, 36-38, 44-52, 54-56, 66-68,72-76, 80-82, 84-86, 92-98, 104-112, 116-118.The fronts, invariably of droved ashlar, are very plain, that of Numbers 79-89 being exceptional in having a circled bay at each end, like Numbers 39-43 Castle Street.
