No. 4 retains its original deal doorcase with carved consoles; it has a lion’s head in the centre over the doorway. The staircase has a continuous newel with winders housed into it.
No. 5 still has its original deal staircase with panelled walls, close strings and twisted balusters, a detail of which is given on Plate 56.
No. 6 is somewhat similar.
No. 7 has a doorcase somewhat similar to that of No. 4, but with a pediment (Plate 57). The interior is of interest, as the original staircase remains (Plate 58). It has close moulded strings, square newels and turned and twisted balusters.
No. 9 has the original staircase with turned and twisted balusters.
No. 10 has a somewhat similar staircase, but the doorcase shown on Plate 59 is an 18th-century addition.
No. 11 has been demolished. It was an 18th-century building. The stone doorhead is shown on Plate 59.
Hidden behind the rear of No. 27, Denmark Street is the old-fashioned smithy shown on Plate 60. It is not a little surprising to discover an example of such manual labour surrounded by firms using modern mechanical labour-saving devices.
