The building on left sits in the south-west corner of a site on the east side of North Gate that is occupied - for the most part - by the Northgate Almshouses. These were built in 1857 as an addition to the Carre’s Hospital Almshouses in Eastgate. However, the converted building ahead, with the Carre family crest on its chimney stack, bears a stone inscription on its road-facing elevation declaring it to be a "Savings Bank". It is now a residential property. The road here is the B1518, as it begins its descent towards the town centre.
