3/114 Nos. 60 and 62
Baker's shop, hairdresser's shop and dwellings above and to rear. Built as one structure in late C16, and known as The King's Head Inn at least by C18; possibly it was purpose-built as an inn. 2 storeys and attics. 6 windows. Timber-framed and roughcast; the upper floor is long wall jettied towards the street. A date cartouche has "1716" in a circle and a square outer frame; apparently a C20 remodelling of the original. Plaintiled roof with flat- headed dormers, those above No.60 containing C19 sashes and those above No.62 containing casements. No.60 has mid C19 large-pane sashes, a matching bay shop window and a panelled entrance door, the large upper panel glazed.

A C19/C20 splayed bay shop window and glazed 3-panelled door to the hairdressers shop. The main entrance to No.62 has a C20 2-panelled door with steps and a pair of wrought iron handrails on twisted posts. An original gabled staircase wing at centre rear has a fine late C16 well staircase with turned heavy balusters and newel finials.
