Old orphanage
West Street was home to a number of sites for the Orphanage of Pity. Moving from neighbouring properties into West House in 1872, the new house afforded accommodation for twenty-two girls. The boys were homed next door. The charity was entirely self-funded and as a consequence struggled at times, but somehow managed to feed and clothe their charges. The number of orphans grew and moved out of West House in 1890.

Sign for the Cock Inn
An ancient tavern sign in use since the 14th century. Often an indication in the past that cock fighting took place in the yard. In the 17th century the sign may also have advertised the sale of 'cock-ale' which was 'ale mixed with the jelly of minced meat of a boiled cock, besides other ingredients'.
