History of 18-19 St Andrew's Street

The Grand Arcade archaeological report of 2019 (p.260) notes that this frontage was combined behind a single facade c.1866-9 when it was occupied by chemist Henry James Church. There are three symbols on the keystones of the first floor window arches. The southernmost is a foliage decoration with a stylized lotus flower at the top; in the centre is Caduceus, two snakes entwined around the winged staff of Hermes, generally taken to be a symbol of the medical profession; the northernmost is a bunch of grapes flanked by vine tendrils. These are closely paralleled by a more extensive series on 41-45 Sidney Street.
