17 - 23 Mercer Row, Louth
A block of late 18th or early 19th century houses, which have latterly had commercial conversions to the ground floor. The stone coping above the 3rd storey has lost the ball finials which once graced it.

The 1931 Reindeer Buildings are now home to the Yorkshire Building Society.
The name is a reminder of the Old Reindeer Inn, demolished in 1931. The top floor was for some time the Reindeer Snooker Hall.

It is a two storey brick building with a pantile roof. This information is being sent to English Heritage by East Lindsey District Council so they can revisit the listing."
The top part of Reindeer Buildings was registered as a place of worship until 1998: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/55276/notices/5SI/all=Louth.

King's Head Hotel 10 Mercer Row
Grade II Listed the Kings Head is to thought to date from the 17th century with a 19th century frontage. Pevsner tells us that it was dressed up in a Victorian Gothic style, probably by G R Willoughby, who was the landlord in the 1840s and this is supported by the 1841 directory referring to it as the New Kings Head. Directory entries include; 1828 Isaac Beecham (& excise office); 1835 Susannah Beecham; 1841 George Rivis Willoughby, New King's Head (& excise office); 1856 George Rivis Willoughby (& town surveyor); 1868 Henry Joseph Bettinson; 1885 Nimrod Long; 1889 Henry Ryan (& posting house); 1901 no name given; 1913 William Peak.

18 & 20 Cornmarket, Louth
Nos 18 & 20 date from the 18th century, and were probably built as houses, then later converted to commercial use - the windows and glazing to no 20 on the right are original early 19th century. They were collectively Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101063245-18-and-20-cornmarket-louth & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1063245 in 1974.

Bustling Louth market
A recent innovation - a book stall that sells cut price magazines.
Overall a busy day on the market, helped by the warm autumn sunshine.
