3 storeys, single bay extending to rear; long narrow building

Tripartite window above and Venetian window on 2nd floor, both
in stone surrounds and 2nd floor window with bracketed sill.
Plain brick right return faces onto Longcakes Lane. Left
return, facing onto East Tower Street, has 2 sash windows,
with glazing bars, one above the other, at the left, in brick

INTERIOR not inspected.
HISTORY: Although this is at the end of the present Scotch
Street and this house would be expected to be No.1, originally
the street extended `without' the city as far as Drovers Lane
where Rickergate started. The reason was that the city
boundary was marked by the ditch and when this was infilled
the boundary remained outside the walls. For the restoration
of the buildings, with illustrations, see Cumberland News
(1981).
