Historical Information

A building is noted here in the First Valuation book (c.1840). It is described as measuring 23’6” x 32’6” x 28’ – as none of the plan dimensions correspond with the present building’s 25’9” façade, this is probably not the same building. The 1863 Valuation describes the building as 25’6” x 34’6” x 3 storeys, with a two storey return; this has a closer correspondence with the present structure, and it is therefore likely that it was rebuilt in the mid-19th century along with no.29.
