Shop with storage over. Probably 1764, with mid C20 alterations. Rendered, C20 pantile roof. Three storeys, three first-floor windows.
Left - segmental carriage arch with notice 'Whitley Yard', a three-light C20 casement to first and second floors. Right - C20 shop front with plate-glass windows to ground floor, two segmental-headed sash windows with glazing bars, in flush wood architraves, to first and second floors. Between the first-floor windows a notice, 'Cromwell House'. End and central ridge stacks. Included for group value.
There is a strong local tradition that Oliver Cromwell stayed at a house on this site during the siege of the Castle. At the rebuild of the house the floor boards of the room over the arch were retained. On examination at resurvey the boards appeared to be C19 replacements, now covered by linoleum. A drawing made c1970 by Arnold Walker, a local artist, shows the rooms over the archway with small bay windows.
