Have a look at the roof. The bottom two rows of tiles are purbeck stone, whereas the rest are clay tiles. There are other buildings like this in Wareham, and possibly nowhere else. The building with bow windows and the blue shopfront is 12 West Street, a grade II* 18th century building (http://list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1119948&searchtype=mapsearch ) To the right is 10 West Street, a grade II building from the 18th century (http://list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1153770&searchtype=mapsearch )
