This trade card shows John Allin Jones' premises on Bennetts Hill in the mid-1800s. The building must have been replaced around the 1920s/30s (?). I think I have the correct modern-day position (ie Otherworld premises) - the trade card helpfully mentions "4 doors from New Street" The numbering seems to be sequential at this point of Bennetts Hill.

John Allin Jones is listed in directories at 20 Bennett's hill in the 1845-1855 editions, but has disappeared by the 1858 edition. In the 1841 edition it is listed at no 33 Bennett's Hill. I earlier directories there is a John Jones, draper in Lower Priory
