Grade II Listed 18th century or older house, now a shop. The surviving 18th century gable window is a rare type of this date, one of only a few such examples left in Cornwall. The 1883 Street Directory lists 'Crowle and Moss, hog's pudding and sausage makers, pork dealers, &c.' at number 8 who is also listed in the 1893 Kelly's Directory. His advertisement in the December 1884 Cornishman tells us it was established in 1865 but not where.
