The label mouldings to this building mirror those to the building to the west, and add decorative appeal to the façade. The regular openings and end chimneystacks enhance the symmetrical form and design while the shopfront adds context to the site, along with artistic interest.

Questions about Vokes
Is Vokes on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 21824041).
Can you visit Vokes?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Vokes built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1810–1830.
Is Vokes protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
