timber panelled pilasters with large brackets carved as
acanthus scroll consoles to the fascia which is carried round

HISTORY: Foss Street follows the line of a medieval dyke which
dammed a tidal creek and included a tidal mill. The mill pool
was filled in and developed around 1820-30, although houses
