NT 65078 20654 A desk-based assessment and external elevation survey were undertaken in June 2009 before development. The former shop probably dates from the late 18th century and is a three-bay, three-storey building with a shop frontage on the ground floor and accommodation above. The building, now in a ruinous state, had been modified over the years, and demolition of some of the rear of the building in the 1980s had exposed the original and inserted bricked-up openings to the rear south-facing elevation. A further watching brief was undertaken during the removal of later fabric from the front façade.
