The hair salon occupies two buildings. The lower one to the right (101-103 Westgate) is 18th century and listed grade II (list entry 1273155), while the 3-storey building to the left is unlisted, but of architectural interest for the carved stone heads above the doors and most of the windows (mainly human heads, but a ram's head above the right hand door).
