HISTORY: York Street was cut through from Stall Street in 1806, and the house north of No.1 Abbey Street was demolished, and this narrow site later redeveloped. It was Hand¿s Dairy, see surviving painted sign on first floor, from c1850. The canted corner echoes that at the eastern end of the street, indicative of the desire of this Regency improvement scheme to impose order on this hitherto haphazard area.
