The current listing information misrepresents the location of this building. Although listed as 'The White Barn' this name is primarily associated with the white-walled 20th-century structure at the western end of the range (at TF 6155 2021). Further confusion comes from the fact that the grid reference currently given by (S1) - TF 61604 20209 - places the designation on another building, immediately to the west of 27 King Street. The building described in the listing appears to actually be the one that lies between the two - which according to (S2) is known as the Old Warehouse. The name and location of this record have been updated accordingly. The Old Warehouse is apparently marked on 19th-century maps as a malt house.
