History

The building probably has C17 origins, though the street elevation was remodelled in the later C19 when a shop front was inserted in No 49. Early origins are indicated by the form of the building, by the position of the chimney, and by evidence for timber-framing recorded in the 1978 survey: this described a 2-unit, timber-framed interior, with tie-beam and collar trusses with windbraces, and two short timber-framed wings to rear.
