Statement of Interest

Part of the Review Close B Group. Building of similar plan shown on Wood's Plan 1822. This building is probably a replacement in two parts, the east section having different floor levels from the front, and a gable end between the two is visible from the north. This eastern section adjoins the gable end of an earlier building (No 97 High St), which together with the 2-storey and basement , 3-bay house (facing E-W), makes Review Close a courtyard. However the close continues under a second pend to Nos 1-6 Review Close, the site of the former Review Press which gives its name to the close. Previous names for the close were Erskine's, Cushnie's, Mason's, and Crawford's.
