Description

The building at 67 Fore Street dates to the 16th and 17th centuries, with a front facade dating to around 1700, appearing similar to that of No. 66. It is a two-story structure with an ashlar stone front on a projecting plinth. A moulded string sits above the ground floor windows, with a plain string at the level of the first floor window heads. There is a moulded cornice above, supporting a plain parapet with stone coping, which has been rebuilt. The roof is covered with double Roman tiles, hipped to the west.

Five ranges of windows are present, each with moulded architraves. A mid-19th century shop front occupies the right-hand side of the ground floor, featuring a four-light shop window and a glazed door enclosed by narrow, panelled pilasters, a plain frieze, and a moulded cornice. To the left, there are three first-floor windows with mullioned and transomed cross windows. The remaining first-floor windows are sash windows, with glazing bars to the two right-hand windows. There are two windows within stone architraves on the ground floor to the left, and a central, eight-panel door with a scroll brass knocker, small brackets with a broken cornice, and a pediment. A small rectangular light is situated to the right. The west-facing return is similarly treated, with two glazing bar sash windows and a small decorated oval on each floor.

The interior is notable; the front room on the left is panelled (circa 1700), with an eared architrave to the fireplace and fluted pilasters to the doorcase. The hall is also panelled and features pedimented doorcases to the left and right. At the rear of the building there is a very fine late 16th or 17th century panelled room with deep moulded cross beams, although the fireplace is 18th century. On the first floor, rooms are characterised by solid oak stud partitions, and one room, now subdivided, has thin moulded strips on the ceiling, dividing it into rectangular and hexagonal panels.

The building forms a significant group with Nos. 65 to 68, Nos. 70 to 73, along with the railings and gates to Nos. 68 and 70, the dwarf stone wall to Nos. 72, 64 (Lloyds Bank), and the Usher's Brewery Corner Block.
