Description

RCHME survey of The Bays and two adjoining houses at the west corner of Culver Street, Colchester. The buildings have walls of brick, now covered with rough cast. A timber-framed wing at the back may be of early 17th century date but the whole of the front block appears to have been rebuilt about the middle of the same century. There is a plain band-course between the storeys and above this the E and W walls are divided into bays by shallow pilasters; those on the W side have Ionic capitals but on the E these have been removed. The North end has a series of sunk panels and pilaster strips. Inside the building the middle tenement has some late 16th century panelling reused'.<1>
