The 16th- and 17th-century houses on the right are typical of those in this part of the village. "On North Street, in contrast to the often wide closes around dwellings in High Town, the older houses, most continuous on the west side, stand end-on at the street end of long narrow crofts, sometimes with outbuildings for storage further back. Those crofts run down to private landing places on the Weirs, which there bend east to run eventually only 150 metres west of the street. At the south end, further from the water, some of North Street's houses have individual channels cut to run east from the Weirs" (British History Online).
