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).
