This pub is slightly tucked away from its junction with the “now pedestrianised” Bridge Street. The pub is actually situated at the eastern, cul-de-sac end of Castle Street, although pedestrian access with Bridge Street has been maintained via a short footpath. According to a declaration on its exterior plasterwork, the pub was rebuilt in 1926. From then onwards - if not before - it was an Anchor Brewery “tied house” owned by Henry Tomlinson Ltd of Cherry Street, Sheffield. The glazed amber-coloured faience (tiles) may be “Bermantofts” pottery (named after a suburb of Leeds) where Messrs Wilcox and Co. traded between 1879-1957. During this period they produced decorative bricks and tiles in orange or buff-coloured architectural terracotta tiles (faience) and glazed brick. The pub last reopened in October 2015 after being upgraded.

Probably the most authentic remaining 'yard' or through alley leading off Bridge Street. On this side of the street, development from medieval times was in the form of long narrow burgage plots, and these yards were typical of the need to provide access to buildings at the rear, often with original main building in a L shape, the foot of the L spanning the yard, as here.. To the right can be seen the bricked up openings to what would originally have been tenement dwellings.

The white painted building. 18th century house, 3 bays, converted to retail use. There is a carriage arch leading to the rear of the premises which stretch some way back, derived from the traditional narrow medieval burgage which characterises Bridge Street. Listed Grade II.

A pair of late 18th and early 19th century houses, converted for retail use. Listed Grade II for group value.

The range of buildings from the left down to and including the white building with black bands are all Listed Grade II, generally 18th century houses later converted for retail use.

This is an early bench mark, dating from the First Primary levelling of England and Wales in 1845. It was part of the branch levelling around the town centre from mark 95, recorded as being Dr. Hayes's house http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/ew1gl/1GLA_348.png . See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4690604 for location.

Late 18th century house of 5+1 bays, the right hand bay spanning a carriage entry. The ground floor has been converted to retail fronts, but there would presumably have been a door central to the five main bays. Listed Grade II. There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4690589 on the left hand corner.
