Woolpit Family Butcher, Fish And Chips, And Bernies Hairdressers

Woolpit Family Butcher, Fish and Chips, and Bernies Hairdressers is a group of three shops with dwellings above, originally built as two houses in the early 16th century on the right and late 16th century on the left. The building was remodeled in the mid-19th century. It features a timber-framed structure that is encased in 19th-century painted brick, topped with a slated roof from the same period. The building has two storeys and six windows, which are 19th-century small-paned sashes with segmental heads. There are three entrance doorways, each half-glazed and panelled, with gabled plaintiled porches supported by wooden brackets. The fish and chip shop retains impressive early 16th-century double-ogee moulded ceiling joists. The first floor was originally long-wall jettied towards the street, and the bressumer remains, complete with embattling and cresting.
