    House and Shop 8 and 8A Grant Street (Pets 'n' Posies) - Physical Conditions

    Very good. Road widening?

    Intactness

    House and Shop 8 and 8A Grant Street (Pets 'n' Posies) - Intactness

    Very good. The shop has later ceramic tiles and the brickwork has been painted, but is otherwise particularly intact. Two new shops have been built adjoining the early shop, in front of the honse. This development is sympathetic and does not diminish the significance of the early shop and house.
