Description
Numbers 7 and 9 on The Chain are 18th century cottages dated 1703. They are two storeys tall, each featuring one window, constructed from brown brick with tiled roofs.

These buildings, along with Nos 1 to 23 (odd) and Nos 4 to 12 (even) on Church Street, as well as No 1 and the outbuildings at Millwall Place, form a group.
