Description

29 Magdalen Street is a former shop building dating from the 17th century, with alterations from the 18th and 20th centuries. The building features painted brick on the first floor and has a pantile roof. It stands two storeys plus an attic and has six closely spaced windows on the first floor. The shopfront is a 20th-century addition. To the extreme left, there is a five-panel door with a moulded surround and four-centre spandrels that display the date 1612 and the initials TFS. The first floor has early 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars and a box cornice. The building is topped with three gable dormers that contain casement windows. There are also two back blocks that are closely related in date, one from around 1620 to the north and another from around 1650 to the south. The initials TFS refer to Thomas Shipdown, who served as Mayor in 1631.
