Description
The former men's outfitters on the west side was refurbished in 1989. None of the works were followed in detail. Foundation trenches in the yard at the back produced spoil that looked clean. Two cellars either side of the doorway extend the full length of the frontage. They are mostly brick built and look post-medieval, but the northern cellar looks as if it incorporates earlier work, possibly an earlier cellar which had been extended. The timber-framed buildings above are also post-medieval. The northern half includes reused timber and may incorporate a little earlier work.
