Southern’s Stores Northgate Street

In the 1960’s, Southern Stores in Northgate street was due for demolition. Behind the Victorian façade was discovered a medieval timber framed building.  Nobody knew it was there until the demolition started and revealed the timbers.

66 Westgate Street

66 Westgate Street was built in the 1400’s as a pair of merchant’s houses. The upper floor is jettied. Twin gables are a distinguishing feature. These date from about 1600. Restorations in 1975 and 2009 were due to dry rot and wood eating beetle. Brimbles Café is the present occupant.
