This pretty, shuttered window is on the front of a small terraced house in St Leonards-on-Sea. The window seems rather large for the house and was probably once a shop window. It is a shame that the flint stones, arranged in careful rows in the wall, have been painted over. Nearby houses have left them plain, as originally intended and though rather dark, they are an attractive part of the local Sussex vernacular in building. The ugly grill at ground level covers a small light-well to a cellar room.
