6, Sheep Street

No. 6 Sheep Street is a 17th-century building that was formerly known as the Red Lion Inn, featuring a 18th-century brick front. The structure has undergone significant alterations and restoration. It stands two and a half storeys tall with a plinth and is constructed of painted brick. The roof is made of stone tiles and has two gabled dormers, along with brick chimneys at the gable ends. A moulded wooden eaves cornice projects over modillions on a moulded strip. On the first floor, there are two modern casement windows with six lights each. Above the ground floor, there is a band with a moulded base. Originally, there were four windows on the ground floor with rubbed brick flat arches; currently, there is one six-light window to the left and two to the right. The central door features a modern triangular hood. Iron hoops below the ground floor windows serve as a reminder that sheep pens were set up beside these houses on market days.
