No.9 Mill Lane (Kathys Corner Crafts) and No.26 North Street
(offices). Published details are: Though outwardly the
brickwork of this small L-plan brick building with tiled roof is
manifestly of a 19th century date, its location at the north end
of a burgage plot that originally ran through from Market Street
and alongside Mill Lane, may indicate an early subdivision of a
burgage plot alongside an important thoroughfare. The footprint
plan of the building consists of two bays lying parallel to Mill
Lane and a further two bays overlooking North Street. A
centrally located chimney, set within the fabric forming the
junction between the two ranges of buildings, suggests there
were fires at ground floor level while the upper chambers were
dependent on ambient heat through the chimney stack. Teh
shorter, easternmost bay with an entrance passage running
through the building at ground floor appears to have been added
at a later date. This suggests the original plan of the
building was of two bays, lying alongside Mill Lane and single
bay lying alongside the present North Street, which was
originally a Back Lane. This L plan whihc clusters the
fireplaces at the re-entry angle of the building is a
characterstic lowland plan of the late medieval and
post-medieval period. Internally the building contains
substantial evidence of oak timbers being used for the floor
frame between ground and first floor, most of which still
survives. The brickwork of the Mill Lane elevation bears
testimony to several alterations and repositioning of windows.
The fabric of the present building appears to be 19th century in
origin but the plan form and floor frame suggest the core of an
earlier building has been assimilated to create the present
building. Though modest in form, No.26 North Street appears to
be the earliest surviving example of occupation of the backlands
of a burgage plot."
