House, Nos. 91, 93, consists of a two-storey brick range along the street and a lower range of one storey and semi-attic running S.E., forming an L-shaped plan. It is uncertain whether both ranges are of the same date; the heights are different but the brickwork appears similar. Some features, such as the tumbled gable to the back range and the sawtooth corbelled eaves on the front, indicate a late 17th or early 18th-century date. The whole property belonged to Phillip Tate senior, merchant tailor, by 1741, and 5 years later was sold to another of the same trade, John Monckton or Mountain, whose widow Jane lived in the house until 1776. It was then sold to Thomas Kilby, a brewer, who let it to a succession of tenants (YCA, E.94, ff. 198, 200v.; Rate Books of Holy Trinity). The first evidence of a division into two tenements is in 1830, when Mary Collins, dressmaker, seems to have occupied the smaller shop, No. 91; the larger shop, kept by Ellen and later by William Gregg, was a Post Office in 1851, when No. 91 was occupied by Robert Nutbrown, a gardener. The space enclosed by the two early ranges was filled in the 19th century, and there is a long 20th-century extension to the S.E.

The street front is shown in the elevation opposite p. 69. The interior has been considerably altered and the ground floor contains two shops separated by a through passage. No original features survive, apart from axial beams on both floors of the front range.
