| Context Description: | Lying at the corner of Straight Street and Paternoster Row was a single-roomed building which can scarcely have been other than a shop. It was originally connected by a door in its NW wall with No. 4 Straight Street, but this had been walled up. The SE wall, which was not bonded at the south corner, was peculiarly badly built and in a very bad state of conservation, but at its south end there was in the outer face a reveal which, with the projecting angle of the next house seemed intended for a heavy wooden upright; if this were so it suggests that the front of the building on Paternoster Row was open, with a large wooden-framed window. The room was mud-floored.2 |
