Notes
The measurement from the front on North Gate Street to the back facing St John's Lane is 158 feet. The width varies from 39 feet at the bank end to about 55 feet at the widest point. The banking area already existed so that there are business rooms on the ground floor and just two rooms on the first floor. The 'tenements', all with lodgers, stood about 31 feet high to the top of the gabled roof. Pink wash outlines new walls to courts and privies for some of the cottages.
