42 And 44, Silver Street

Nos 42 and 44 on Silver Street are a pair of buildings dating from the 15th or 16th century. They are two storeys tall with an attic and feature a double wide gabled front constructed of timber frame. Number 42 is tile hung, while Number 44 is stuccoed. The tiles on Number 42 are arranged in shaped and plain bands. The first floor of Number 42 has 19th-century paired sash windows with intact glazing bars. Below the overhang, there are two small casement windows and a modern shop front. Number 44 has one flush framed sash window in the attic and three on the first floor, which have later glazing, along with a modern shop front. The rear elevations show Number 42 as tile hung and Number 44 as stuccoed, with irregular sash and casement windows. Originally, these buildings were one house.

They form a group with the Poultry Cross and Nos 36 to 52 (even) on Silver Street, as well as the rear elevation of Nos 1 to 17 (odd) Minster Street and St Thomas's Church in St Thomas's Square.
