Full Description
Two tenements of 17th century date (now demolished). The structure had a later extension at the back. The upper storey originally projected on the west front, but was later under built.<1>
A watching brief was maintained during redevelopment on the site of Last's garage, Middleborough, in the vicinity of No 12 & 13 (but covering a much larger area). The deeper trenches on the site were recorded and revealed a series of gravel street surfaces. Dark earth ran beneath the lowest recorded surface. To the east of the road surface was a post-medieval frontage wall foundation. A possible second property was noted further to the south. Behind the frontage was a daub floor. Some of the above features may relate to No's 12 & 13 but the sketch map is not clear.<2>
