Full Description
A house (now demolished) of two tenements and shops. It was built early in the 16th century and has a 17th century wing at the back. The front has been faced with modern brick. Inside the building the ground floor has the original moulded ceiling-beams, one in the east tenement being unusually elaborate with a band of running foliage; below its junction with the wall-plate is a carved shield with foliage. In the front wall is a window of c.1600 with moulded frame and mullions.<1>
The building was demolished in 1967. There are photographs of the demolition held in the Museum Resource Centre.<2>
