Description: | Undated. Ashville House was one of a pair of houses in Queen Street that faced south to the sun and were situated on either side of the main road. The other was Milton House, both being built with substantial gardens behind high walls. In more recent years the gardens have been filled with buildings, and new shop fronts have appeared along Queen Street. The biggest infilling has been associated with this building. Ashville House had already been extended as far as Queen Street pavement as the offices for Norman Tempest and Son, Estate Agents and Auctioneers. In 1967-68 Tempest built a huge new furniture shop, DFS Furniture, so adjacent to this building that the front outside (as seen on this picture) was incorporated into the interior design of the new shop, separating office accommodation from the furniture display area. Obviously it has been given internal decoration style but it is still recognisable as the original exterior of Ashville House.
