"The most distinctive building on the street is the elaborate red brick
tenement development of the Guinness Trust Buildings. The main block on
Snowsfields and Kirby Grove is palatial in style, its two four-storey wings
linked by an arcade of five brick arches that give access to its central
court. The whole development is surrounded by heavy iron railings to
protect a half basement floor. A smaller block in similar style adjoins the
Rose pub. Together the buildings form a significant section of the street:
with their railings, street trees, and the block of shops and flats opposite,
they contribute to a strong urban character."
