Number 6 Drybridge Street, on the left of the image, is a single bay of a three bay 17th century house, number 8 Drybridge Street is the other two bays. The house was refronted in the 18th century with the gable added at that time and divided into two properties. The walls are rendered and painted and possibly conceal some timber framing, all under a tile roof. The building was once a public house. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=85144 (number 6) and at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=85165 (number 8).
