This house was built in 1732 and this date is recorded on a chimney stack, along with the initials HI which are probably for Humphry Iliffe. The date 1793 is also inscribed on this stack, with the initials TSE for Thomas Snow, an upholsterer, and his wife Elizabeth who had bought the house in 1792. His initials are also inscribed on rainwater heads dated 1801. The ground floor had become a shop by 1804, and the current shop front was installed in 1836 by the proprietor Richard Knight. The upper storeys are elaborately decorated. {2}
