GV II*

Terrace of 4 units, now 5 shops with flats over, probably
originally dwellings. c1500 with later modifications.
Timber-framed with plain tiled roof.
Largely 3 storeys, but built on sloping site so No.69 at the
upper end of the row has shop front occupying equivalent of
ground and first floor, with wide gabled attic above. 8-window
range. Shop fronts mostly late C19 or early C20 in style, and
central arched entry to rear passage. Close studding with
partial mid rail in upper storey with 2 windows to each unit.
No.65 has sash windows, the rest all shallow oriels inserted
in early C20, with wood mullions and transoms and leaded
lights.
Second storey is jettied out, but in Nos 65-69 the jetty is a
cast-iron lintel, and the timbering above is mock painted
suggesting extensive restoration or major rebuilding. Upper
windows are slightly projecting mullioned casements of 4
lights, run together to form a long 8-light window over No.68.
Shaw-style oriel windows to No.69. Two gabled dormers in the
roof over Nos 66 & 67, and a wide jettied gable, possibly a
C20 insertion to No.69, with 5-light casement window and
barge-boards with finial. Various axial and rear wall stacks.
