The shop on the left was, from 1900 to 1950, a sweet shop and newsagents.
First owned by Fennel and Means, two single ladies. Then the Coxs bought it and moved the shop across the road to the right of the picture. Then it was a barber's shop, violin maker's shop and now it's owned by an Eel Catcher and Willow merchant.
The terrace was built in 1774.
