Description
Nos 5 to 9 on Fore Street is a timber-framed and plastered building dating from the 16th to 17th century, with alterations made during the 18th to 20th centuries.

The building has two storeys and features a three-window range, including one 18th-century double-hung sash window with glazing bars in a flush cased frame and two windows with sheet glass. The ground floor has been extended with 20th-century shop fronts, and the roofs are tiled.
