GV II

Houses now shops, late C17. Brick with Ham Stone dressings; stone slate roof
between coped gables. 2-storeys of 5-bays. Modern shopfronts to ground floor in
flat arched recesses in stone ashlar work under stone band course: to first five
12-pane windows regularly spaced in stone architraves with keystones: rusticated
stone quoins to first floor, and stone eaves cornice. The interior and rear
elevation not seen. These properties are integral with Nos 23 and 25 (q.v.),
sharing same roof and eaves cornice, although the different facing material at
first floor level suggests that this house has been re-fronted more than once:
the windows also are deeper than those of the adjacent building. Re-fronted by
John Old, Mercer in 1714, later home of John Old Goodford and Thomas Cave
(Brewer).
