No173 can be seen in the above picture as it was before it was torn down for the road widening. No173 was previously the Dolphin public house up to the 19th century but in 1865 Mrs Susannah Porter was shown as working from there as a Dress-maker. Once the building was rebuilt it belonged to a George Cooper in 1932 but the Kelly's Directory didn't say what the shop was. / 24 November, 2024 |

In 1900 it was occupied by Robert Money Fruiterer and Greengrocers. / 23 November, 2024 |

No 32 appears to have always been a house, Tudor inside just like 31 next door. If you look at the roof line you can clearly see the Georgian frontage which has been added on later. In 1932 kelly' s directory lists a Mr John waiter Baron Endacott as living there, and in 1967 a Mr Ronald T Stevens. Today it is still a private house. / 23 November, 2024 |
