HISTORICAL NOTE: map evidence suggests that Nos 11 & 12 are
probably part of the row built c1831-34, with No.13/No.8
Britannia Street added when Britannia Street was built, by
1850. The 1870 Directory indicates that these houses were then
occupied by a woad grower, a gentleman and an oyster merchant;
by 1886 they were all woollen warehouses.
