The house itself may date from the early 1800s. The Shrewsbury Canal,completed in 1797, crossed St Michael's Street at this point to about the position of the lamppost. The former towpath is then picked up by the current footpath and this continues along the line of trees before sweeping right towards the centre of Shrewsbury terminating in a basin behind the Buttermarket.
