This fine house at number 34 Dollar Street is early 18th century with late 18th century and later alterations. Number 36 was an attached wing or possibly a separate cottage. Until 2012 both premises were in one occupation as an antiques shop and the ugly full width shop front has been removed (see the Images of England photograph on the Historic England listing). Built of rubble stone with the front stuccoed and a Welsh slate roof. There is another image of the house at Image Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1187462 Cirencester, the largest town in the Cotswolds, is a market town some 15 miles south east of Gloucester and some 13 miles north west of Swindon. The town lies on the River Churn, a tributary of the River Thames and is the hub of a network of roads. It is the home of the Royal Agricultural University, founded in 1840. An important Roman settlement known as Corinium, the town, with 240 acres enclosed by walls was second only to London in size.
