INTERIORS: Not inspected.
HISTORY: This part of Walcot Street was formerly called Cornwall Street (the spelling encountered on all maps). These houses are Listed Grade II* because of the interest of the highly unusual curved shop fronts which appear to be of the same date as the houses behind, and represent a novel solution to the integration of street and shop front.
