9, Walmgate

No. 9 Walmgate is an inn that has been converted into a house and shop. It dates from the mid-18th century and was re-roofed in the early 19th century, with alterations made to the shopfront in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of painted brick in Flemish bond, featuring a timber doorcase and shopfront. It has a hipped roof that is partly tiled and partly covered with pantiles, adorned with corner scrolls, a skylight, and brick stacks.

The exterior consists of a three-storey, one-window front. The shopfront includes plain pilasters with moulded imposts and a moulded cornice supported by paired brackets. It features glazed and panelled double doors with an overlight positioned at the corner, flanked by shop windows that have two round-arched lights with a transom above panelled risers. The first and second floors have one-pane sash windows with painted flat arches. There are bands at the first and second floors that return over the right front. A fluted inverted bell rainwater head is also present.

On the right return to Merchantgate, the building has three storeys and a cellar beneath the right end, with a three-window front. The cellar is accessed through a board door. A central doorcase, approached by steps, features incised panelled jambs with an entablature on carved consoles and a glazed and panelled door beneath a six-pane overlight. The windows on this side match those on the Walmgate front. The interior has not been inspected.
