Description
No. 160 High Street is an early 20th-century range of shops built over an early 15th-century cellar. The shop is constructed of red brick and features a plain tile roof. The cellar is made of limewashed and colourwashed brick and contains two bays of quadripartite rib vaults, which are divided by a chamfered transverse rib. The vault ribs are hollow chamfered and rise from moulded corbels. Access to the shute from the street is protected by an iron grille, and there are later brick dog-leg stairs that lead up to the interior of the shop.
