Appraisal
Set on the corner of Emmet Square and The Green, this house was built as one of a pair with its neighbour in the mid eighteenth century, but was subsequently altered over the years to accommodate its various uses. Alterations include the insertion of a large display window, later nineteenth-century sash windows with margin lights and the erection of 1950s style petrol pumps that stand on the footpath. As a result the structure expresses an individual character within its setting.
