Viewed across South Street. The name E.E.DOWNES on the wall over the entrance, and, hanging from a bracket, a small green depiction of what looks like an anvil, suggest that the flats in Downes Court occupy the site of a former smithy. A plaque on the house on the right at upstairs level shows JUBILEE COTTAGE and a faded year which could be 1890. If so, then it was named in celebration of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.
