Description
9a High Street is a Victorian house of small architectural interest, built on the site of the shed where the victims of the "Bloody" Assizes were hanged, and is still referred to as "Gallows House." It is listed for its historic significance. The long building is situated behind Nos 7 and 9, at the corner of White Hart Lane. The front, facing High Street, is made of tall, black-painted brick and features a slate roof with second-floor windows that rise into the roof. There are a pair of sash windows on the second floor and a three-light splayed bay on the first floor, along with a 19th-century double shop front. Nos 3 to 9 (odd) and 9A form a group.
