These 2 have cut-down chimneys. The store to the left (which has filled ground to the front) has remains of former openings at basement level, two 3-light flush-mullion windows at 1st floor, a former taking-in doorway to the left, and 2 large inserted 9-pane windows to the upper floor (which has been raised). INTERIOR not inspected. HISTORY: the altered portion to the left was formerly a handloom weaving workshop.
