22 and 24 Main Street Heysham

The buildings here are described in the Grade II Listing as 22 main street and shop adjoining to south. Although 17th century, the 1629 date is a mid 20th century addition. Interestingly the OS map shows 3 dwellings but with only 2 gardens and appears to number them 22, 24 and 26. The heritage centre address is given as 24 but only the vaguest evidence suggests a further door may have existed for access to a number 26 however the listing refers to "2 shop openings, each with a doorway and shuttered window". The wooden door (with no apparent lock or handle) when viewed in the Google 2009 street view is a window and the rendering extends to the down pipe where a boundary fence existed.
