Veronica, thanks for posting this. It look identical to photo you recently posted but this building is three stories high. I wonder if the top floor was removed at some time?????

It must have had something done Colin. I think if you go to the History Shop you would find out more details.

Looking a lot closer the ‘effigy’ of the child’s head is still over the top of the door..even though it’s painted black. ( To me anyway.)

SURELY THIS IS A LISTED BUILDING DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT IS?

Looking at the picture I don’t know about listed but it does look to be leaning a bit!
I think that it does have a preservation order on it but not sure of the grade, could be Grade 2?
