A row of early 19th century workers' houses, built on what was a medieval burgage plot (long narrow strip of land behind a town house fronting onto the street). Pedestrian access to the yard is a passageway between shops on Main Street, modern residents also have car parking spaces to the rear. The scene doesn't appear to have changed since this photo was taken in 2003 Image .
