House, No. 95, was built in the early 18th century and considerably altered in the late 19th century, when it is possible that shop premesis were formed on the ground floor. Recently, a more drastic conversion of the ground floorwas carried out by the removal of all partition walls and fittinmgs, and a single storeyed extension was added at the rear.

The house, of three storeys with attics, built in brick with a tiled roof, has a front of fiive bays. The ground floor contains a modern shop front, but at the N.W. end there is a round-arched opening of guaged brick to a through-passageway known as 'Ayre's Yard'. Over a plat-band at first-floor levelis a central blocked window with a canted bay window each side replacing the original fenstration. At the third storey above a moulded plat-band, are five windows with flat arches of rubbed guaged brick and moulded stone sills. The eaves cornice is not original. The interior has been greatly altered but the slaoon and drawing room, at the front of the first floor, retain much of the original bolection-moulded panelling; the bold moulded cornice of the drawing room breaks forward over pendants.
