Description

This is a 15th-century timber-framed building that has been refaced with painted brick and rough cast. It features a hipped tiled roof and has three sash windows with verticals only on the Broad Street elevation, and two on the Military Road elevation. The early 19th-century shopfront includes a cornice and four pilasters, with a door set in the corner. The doorcase for No 47A has a simple moulded architrave and a six-panelled door. Nos 47 to 52, along with No 1 Albion Place, form a group.

Local climate

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
