5 and 7, Crown Street

5 and 7 Crown Street are houses that were later converted into a public house and are now used as offices. They were built in the late 18th century and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The buildings are rendered with a slate roof and feature a three-flue stack and coping on the far left, with a 20th-century stack to the right of the center. The structure has three storeys and six first-floor windows, which include four-pane sashes, some set in architraves, and casements in smaller openings just below the eaves. On the ground floor, there is a panelled door in a wooden architrave and two windows matching the first floor to the right, along with two 20th-century shop windows in the center and to the left. The interior has not been inspected. The buildings were apparently constructed as a row of three houses, with the site developed by 1725. The current form of the row was established by 1815, when the street was named Assembly Court. By 1847, a large part of the site was occupied by the Crown and Fleece Inn, and there may have been a passageway through the center of No. 9.
