This floor is highly decorated with a moulded false balustrade and monumental earns on either side of the roof.

On the Wellington street side, there are floor-to-ceiling plate glass wraparound windows from the store front. Farther west along this side there are four leaded windows window. There is also a single door with a metal rolling security grille. Above this door is a decorate roundel, showing the former Marks & Spencer Logo. The first floor on the North side has five leaded windows of a similar style to the first floor, along with a similar leaded window on the west edge. The penthouse area has some moulded decoration, as well as white painted fascia board. The goods door sits in the centre of the North side, and is currently boarded up.
