Appraisal
This terraced house forms part of a group of buildings in the town which have rendered lettering to their facades. Such lettering is not only attractive, but also provides a key to its former function, in this case 'Cloth Hall'. The well-proportioned shopfront, diminishing windows to the upper floors, and steeply-pitched roof all contribute to the appeal of this significant building.
