Chimney stack to left end, from a flue inserted in the adjoining building. Rear: ground-floor doorway within adjoining wall partially masking building; in centre of first floor a blocked single-light window with chamfered dressed-stone surround. Left return: ground-floor doorway; 8-pane window in gable. Right return: blocked ground-floor opening; large first-floor window opening.

No 60 Market Place was owned in the early C18 by Samuel Sutton, a prominent member of Richmond's Fellmongers' Guild, who is known to have practised his craft 1693-1733. The warehouse is a rare surviving example of an early non-domestic building within the burgage plot of its original frontage house, encased within a Georgian elevation.
