The upper storeys were built around 1840 for Charles Marshall, a veterinary surgeon and farrier. There is first-floor blind arcading in a little-altered stock brick elevation. The shop below is infill of what was an open carriageway into the twentieth century. Stables to the rear were rebuilt for Marshall’s successors to incorporate a smithy.1
