The Old Bakery

The Old Bakery is a house and restaurant that was formerly a bakery, dating from around 1550, with later encasing in late 18th century or early 19th century materials. The building is two storeys high and features three windows along with two dummy windows. It has a timber-framed structure that is encased in red brick, which is now painted. The roof is made of concrete tiles. There are two chimneys; the left one is made of narrow buff bricks from the 16th century, while the right one is a rebuilt shaft of red brick from the 17th century. The windows are 19th century small-pane casements with cambered heads. The entrance includes a 19th century boarded door and another two-panelled door.

Inside, the building has retained several original features, including an exposed first floor with roll-moulded beams and joists in the hall, and an open fireplace with a deep double-ogee moulded surround. There is evidence of a longwall jetty facing the street, and a repositioned wainscotted cross-passage screen with chamfered framing. A blocked window features roll-moulded mullions, and there are altered twin service doorways along with a reset doorway that has a four-centred arch. The single service room contains good unchamfered floor joists.
