HISTORICAL NOTE: 'By the C16, Broad Street was second only to
High Street in commercial importance. On the direct route through
the city from the (Worcester) Bridge (qv), it contained the
business premises of a number of important traders and at least
two inns'. Several houses in Broad Street are known to have C17
and earlier origins (Nos 32, 40, 41 and 57 (qqv)).
