Description
66 Fore Street is an early 19th-century building that has been refronted, originally constructed in the late 16th or early 17th century as a merchant's house of the "deux corps de batiments" type. The structure maintains its double courtyard plan, featuring 'Little' and 'Great Courts' with two detached blocks. It stands three storeys high and has one window. The roof is hipped and covered with Welsh slate. The masonry party walls are adorned with moulded corbels supporting the first-floor jetty. The front is timber-framed with a plaster finish. The second floor features an architraved sash window with sidelights and glazing bars, while the first floor has a splayed oriel window with three lights, sashes, and a tented canopy. The modern ground floor has a shop and fascia. Although the rear blocks have been altered, the gallery of the Little Court remains, complete with a bracketed first floor. There is also a side passage with a muntin and plank partition.
