1, QUEEN STREET (See details for further address information)

No 1 Queen Street, located on the west side, dates back to 1594 and includes Nos 2-2A New Canal. This building occupies a corner site with New Canal and Fish Row. It is an early 16th-century structure that has been altered in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The building is three stories tall, constructed with a timber frame and finished with stucco. It features an overhanging second floor and has a hipped roof covered with old tiles.

On the second floor, there are four 18th-century windows. The first floor showcases a wide 18th-century angular bay window on the left and a smaller similar bay on the right, both adorned with moulded cornices. Between these bays are three early 19th-century French casement windows, flanked by narrow side glazing, which open onto a balcony. The ground floor has a 19th-century shop front. Notable features include good 18th-century wrought iron balcony rails with a radiating and scroll pattern over the left-hand first-floor bay window. The remaining second-floor windows and all first-floor windows have early 19th-century balcony rails with interlacing bars and a quatrefoil band.

The front facing New Canal has two windows on the second floor and four on the first floor, all from the 18th century, along with 19th-century shops on the ground floor. The Fish Row front features a double gable with moulded bargeboards, three windows on the upper floors, individual balconies on the second floor, and a continuous balcony across the first floor, with similar ground floor shops. All windows on this front are early 19th-century, including a small rectangular bay on the right-hand side of the first floor.

This building is of considerable value due to its prominent corner location at the junction of three streets and is very picturesque. The interior includes a dragon beam on the first floor, while the second floor features exposed trusses with tie beams, collars, principals, and curved braces. Chamfered beams are present in the former passage between New Canal and Fish Row.
