The posts have stepped pedestal bases with decoratively shaped panels attached to the top of each post. The words "J.B. Paton" and "General Storekeeper" are painted above the lean-to roof with partially obscured writing with the words "Liverpool" and "London" visible along the base of the building in the centre.
