On the corner of Sunderland Street and High Street West, this is mainly early C19, although parts of the building are C18. Originally built as a town house for the Lampton family of local landowners, it became first a coaching Inn and then The Bridge Hotel and Vaults. The original name can be seen below the windows on the left elevation. After the landlord was murdered in 1998, the Hotel closed and was later converted to offices, as it is today. It was renamed after the original owners.
