Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
An early survival in town with a distinctly 18th century character. Shown on the Richmond Map of 1795.
Originally two buildings set at an angle to each other, now combined to make a restaurant over two floors. [1]Building to street is three bay, two storey.
Ground floor is shop frontage adapted into restaurant use; the bowed shop fascia survives. Considerable step-down to floor level from the street.
Appearance of domestic property historically converted to shop use. The ground and first floors of the front building have now been opened up. Timber beams on the first floor have roll moulded chamfers. Original early 18th century roof timbers and internal woodwork. The rear structure is stone, the upper level supported by chamfered timber beams.
Notes and references
- ↑ It is difficult to reconcile the present-day appearance of the property with the suggestion that two buildings were at right angles to each other
