Number 41 Bridge Street is a medieval undercroft, and subsequently a shop, now a café, which was incorporated into a Neo-Jacobean style brick building designed by Edward Hodkinson and erected in 1864 for the landowner, the second Marquis of Westminster - the Row level and the upper storeys have a separate entry on the National Heritage List for England. The undercroft is constructed of sandstone with 1864 and C20 alterations.

The undercroft has a modern shopfront to the street, with a vigorously moulded and painted sandstone pier that forms part of the rebuilding of 1864 by Edward Hodkinson for the second Marquis of Westminster.

The cellar is rock-cut and probably dates to 1864. The shop is largely lined, but there is exposed medieval squared sandstone rubble masonry in the lower part of the south wall. The upper part of the wall has been re-surfaced or rebuilt.
