13, Trim Street

No. 13 Trim Street is a house with a shop, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of painted limestone ashlar at the front, with rubble at the rear, and has a pantile roof. The building is small, featuring a low-pitched roof and three floors. It has two windows with eight-pane sash frames in plain reveals. The ground floor includes a panelled, part-glazed door on the left and a 20th-century multi-pane display window. There are thin drip courses at two levels and plain eaves. A very large rubble chimney stack, raised in ashlar, is located on the right side. The rear of the building has staggered sash windows. The interior has not been inspected. The modest ceiling heights and the large chimney stack suggest that this may be a refacing of an earlier property. The street was laid out in 1707 on land owned by George Trim, just outside the medieval walls, but this building is a later replacement. The street still features its original flagged pavements and sett roadway.
