Photograph at the Brown plaque № 69637 brown plaque

This building which is listed as being of historic and architectural interest was erected as a bakery in 1698. Later records show that it was owned during the 18c by the Gilson's, a famous family of bakers. It was extensively damaged by fire which raged for three days over Christmas 1834 and destroyed many of its neighbours. The plaque of the borough arms on the gable end commemorates the restoration
