Statement of Interest

Recently thoroughly restored; earlier the front had been flush with the rest of the street, the right bay having a smaller gable and there being a further small bay to the left. The drum stair tower replaces a demolished range which extended to the rear. Its current form may be closer to its original plan. Part of the continuous B group to Market Place.
