The taller building (late 18th century http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=264625 ) was used for some time as a local government office, now once again a private house. Instead of numbers around the clock face there is an inscription, which says "Elizabeth II". Watchet Conservation Society has old photos and information about this house http://www.watchetconservationsociety.co.uk/building_courthouse.html . The lower building (c.1860) is the current Watchet Town Council chambers and offices. For a closer view of the unusual spiky plant, see Image .
