Dated c1810, restored in the 1890s. The listing observes that it is "a very rare survival of this building type, revealing a high level of architectural finish". Grade II* listed. The watchman inside must have represented the thin line between the genteel residents of the crescent behind (Image]) and local vagabonds and footpads.
