The current building at 320 High Street appears to have been built during the mid- to late C18, possibly as a shophouse fronting the High Street. Very little is known about the building’s early history. It appears to be depicted on Padley’s map of 1842, while the 1888 OS Town Plan of Lincoln depicts the building’s rear range extending further to the east than at present. This rear range was curtailed sometime between the 1930s and 1960s to reach its current size. During the 1970s, the building was the office of an insurance company and had a timber and glazed shopfront bearing a Classical cornice. The shopfront was replaced during the late C20 century with the existing timber shopfront, while the two dormers in the western slope of the roof were converted to ventilation grilles. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate entry in the National Heritage List for England. {1}{2}
