This is a former coaching inn, now nicely restored as an art gallery and horse museum - see http://www.horsemuseum.co.uk/about-tuxford The holes in the wall suggest this may have been the back of a building line with stalls for the many horses which would have been required - up to 74 coaches per day passed through Tuxford on the Great North Road, and as well as the usual teams, an extra "cock horse" hitched at the front was required to get the coaches away through the thick mud which was common there.
