Toto’s is a timber-framed building of oak with a tiled roof built in the 17th century (Grade II Listed Building, NHLE no. 1123566). A historic building survey was carried out by Richard Shackle, for Colchester Archaeological Trust, as part of the watching brief during refurbishment works in 2010. The framing is close studded with primary bracing; that is, the studs are cut by the braces. It is situated in Museum Street which was formerly the entrance to the castle bailey. <1> The building appears to be a small self-contained building. It consists of a front range of two bays, one longer than the other, and a small square rear extension. The ground-floor front range was probably one undivided space with a fireplace. Almost certainly there was a large window facing onto what is now Museum Street. The rear extension was probably a service area for the front range. There is a gap in the framing between G and H, which was probably a doorway. The cellar, which is under A/B, C/D of the front range is accessed from a staircase next to the chimney in the rear extension. The walls are made of septaria blocks and Roman bricks.
