Formerly the Peacock Inn, now a coffee lounge. The building dates from the 16th century and is probably the oldest secular building in the town. It may originally have been a guildhall. Listed Grade II. In the early 20th century the frontage was remodelled by the owners, Brampton Brewery, and it was only following a fire in 1974 that the timber framing became fully revealed and the importance of the building recognised. Apparently this played a key part in deflected a planned major redevelopment of the town centre which would have included demolition of the Market Hall and many others of the now Listed buildings on Low Pavement.
