Summary

This large 18th century building is set along the street line. Interestingly it has earlier 17th century cellars from at least two different properties. It has now been subdivided into several separate units and these operate as shops. As such the façade has four 20th century shopfronts. The majority of windows are of the sash variety with glazing bars and the building has rusticated quoins and a hipped roof.
