History

Terraced house, now solicitors' office, former Horse and Jockey Inn. Externally earlier to mid C19 but of early C18 origins. Marked as inn on 1834 map, shop by later C19, Eliza Williams shopkeeper in 1884 and Sarah Davies in 1914. Offices of Hopwood Collen solicitors in 2002. The interior plank panelling of late C17 type is probably early C18, and a rare survival.

Plate-glass shop-window to left, canted pane in to recessed half-glazed panelled door with overlight to right. To extreme right, not aligned with window above, another 12-pane sash.

Staircase possibly C18, enclosed bottom flight, small closet at top of stairs with 2-panel door (as formerly in 23 Bridge Street and 13 Spilman Street); 2 fielded panelled doors.
