Penrose Almshouses, Litchdon Street, Barnstaple
Originally twenty dwellings, each for two inmates of the same sex, completed in 1627, three years after the death of the founder, John Penrose. Later repair and refurbishment includes 20th century replanning with partial conversion to flats and some features copying the original. Pevsner states that this is a remarkably attractive and ambitious early 17th century complex, and is the finest of a notable group of almshouses in Barnstaple.
Grade I listed in 1951.

Former Brannam's Pottery, Litchdon Street, Barnstaple
A blue plaque http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5475183 is on the wall near the doorway.
The pottery which dates from at least 1830,
possibly much earlier, was acquired before 1840
by the Brannam family who ran it until 1979.
The former pottery is Grade II listed.

Bottle oven - Brannam Medical Centre
This is on part of the site of the Litchdon street Pottery of C H Brannam Ltd and the bottle oven or bottle kiln has been relocated to the rear of the medical centre. It doesn't appear to be of the type found in the Potteries with a separate hovel but I didn't inspect too closely. This area is the helath centre's car park.
