78 80 82, HIGH STREET (See details for further address information)

Nos. 78, 80, and 82 High Street, along with No. 12 West Street, form a building that has shops on the ground floor and separate ownership above. This structure dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber-framed construction with colourwashed stucco and a hipped roof covered in old tiles. The roof has a coved cornice and includes four box dormers on the front and one on the west side. A large red brick chimneystack is located above Nos. 80 and 82.

The building is three storeys tall with attics and has five windows on the first and second floors. The first floor has flush set sash windows, except for a central 19th-century oriel bay window and a casement window for No. 80. The second floor features both sashes and casements. The deeply coved eaves cornice projects forward at the original window positions on Nos. 78 and 80, although the late 18th-century windows of No. 78 do not fit this design. The ground floor has a mid-20th-century shopfront for No. 78 on the right, a 19th-century shopfront for No. 80 in the center with a pilaster surround and consoles flanking the fascia below a moulded cornice, and a 20th-century shopfront for No. 82 on the left. Notably, No. 78 extends beyond the street line and has an overhanging jetty at its corner. The first floor includes a blanked-out window for No. 78 and a second-floor casement for No. 82 beneath the cornice break, indicating its alignment with the original window layout. The moulded eaves cornice stops at the division between Nos. 82 and 80.

The interior of No. 82 retains part of a closed string newel stair with splat balusters that curve around the well. In the 1770s, No. 80 was known as The Fox and Goose public house, while No. 82 was called The Old Punch House, later referred to as The Oriental Tavern in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
