Built in the early 19th century, presumably as a house, and then altered by the inclusion of a shop front in the latter part of the same century - the prominent bow window is original from that time. It also once included a shop sign comprising a replica tea canister on top of the bow window, sadly now missing or possibly in storage, which suggests it was likely a grocery or similar. The whole building including the rear wing was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101180179-5-lower-bar-newport/photos#.YNOaSOhKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1180179 in 1978.
