About the building

Originally a two storied, jettied, half-timbered house; the jetty resting on the still visible sagging beam. The front was refaced and the third storey added in about 1800 in a lively Italianate style. (source: A Tucker)

The upper windows, console brackets and low pitch of the roof are of early Regency style. The first floor windows are original. 18th century hollowed elm pipes went straight through where the extension is now. (source: occupier in 1970)

The late 19th century shop front has pilasters and more modern plate glass. Green wood was used for the bressamer beam and it would have sagged from the beginning. The columns are of cast iron. (source: L Hurley)
