51, 52 and 53, Meeting House Lane

51, 52, and 53 Meeting House Lane are houses that have been converted into shops and offices. They were built in the late 18th century or early 19th century, featuring early to mid-19th century shop fronts. The exterior is finished in stucco that is scored to imitate ashlaring, and the roof is not visible due to the narrowness of Meeting House Lane.

The buildings are three storeys tall, with one window each. Each has a flat-arched entrance that is part of the early to mid-19th century shop front. The fronts were likely constructed at the same time and follow a nearly identical design, with thin Tuscan pilasters flanking each entrance and another pilaster at each party wall. A shallow entablature runs continuously across the row. All windows are flat-arched with projecting sills, and each features an 8 x 8 sash of original design. The interior has not been inspected.

These buildings are an important group alongside Nos 1-12, 22-32, 36-41, and 43-50 Meeting House Lane, which is located in the central area of the Old Town known as The Lanes.
