This structure was built as a Co-Op store in 1897. The foundation stone was laid by George Hartley, treasurer of the Lincoln Equitable Co-Op Society, on 2nd May. It is a red brick building with Flemish bond with elaborate stone decoration including a beehive in the central pediment. The central section has six bays with six arched windows (the central two are semi-circular) with segmental arches to the other four. It has an attractive shop front with double doorway. To the south side is the manager's house. To the north side is a separate but matching shop front which may have been a butcher's. This has stone mullioned square-head window at first floor level with a carved panel above. {1} The Wm Mortimer & Son (Lincoln) shops were built in 1897 from brick with stone dressings and have a slate roof. Nos 14 and 16 retain most of their original shopfronts. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {2}
