Historical Note: The property is understood to date back to around the mid 16th century and forms part of a continuous terrace, most of which are now houses in Bridge Street, including the Greenland Fishery on the corner. There are understood to have been a variety of occupiers over the years including a pub or ale shop (there is an ale serving hatch in one of the interior doors). Pevsner mentions the properties in Bridge Street having been "scheduled for demolition in the 1960's (see historic photo attached) but the houses were bought and (restored) converted by Desmond Waite (architect), a process which altered the appearance as little as possible".
