Number 11 Row Number 17a Street

Number 11 Row, 17A Street is a medieval undercroft and town house that has been redeveloped as a street-level shop, a Row shop, and accommodation. The structure was largely rebuilt in the 18th century, with further alterations in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of brick and sandstone, with a concealed roof.

The external appearance consists of four storeys and one bay. The modern shopfronts are of no particular interest. Twelve sandstone steps lead to the Row on the east side. There is a 20th-century mild steel railing to the Row front, with end piers refaced in 20th-century brickwork. Modern coverings obscure the sloping stallboard, which extends 2.4 meters from front to rear, and the Row walk. A modern small-pane shopfront of no interest is situated on the Row. The late Georgian front to the third and fourth storeys features a mid-20th century outer leaf in stretcher bond, containing two recessed 12-pane horned sash windows on each storey, with partly exposed sash-boxes, concrete sills, and coping. The window heads are slightly cambered.

A particularly noteworthy feature is a section of medieval sandstone masonry in the party wall between the rear yard and the yard of the adjacent Boot Inn. This wall marks the boundary of the original burgage plot.

The street and Row levels contain no visible features of special interest. A circa 1800 dogleg open-string staircase has flights parallel with the front, featuring shaped brackets, a turned newel, and stick balusters. The third storey has a cornice and a blocked fireplace. The fourth storey retains an 18th-century strutted truss with a reused 17th-century oak tie-beam.
