No. 61 on the corner dates from c1705 and "shows the inexperience of Bristol builders in the use of brick". Nice shell hood. Grade II* listed. Its more vivacious neighbour displays its "showy Baroque refacing probably of the mid 1730s, perhaps unparalleled in England of its size and type". The details surrounding the window are eccentric. The architect was possibly Nathaniel Ireson (a former pupil of Francis Smith of Warwick). Grade II* listed.
