Full Description
Evidence of two parallel undercrofts were recorded during the construction of the present structure at No 14-16 Northgate Street in the 1950s. The undercrofts were of stone with chamfered segmental arches, corbels and an interconnecting doorway of a possible medieval date. It is uncertain whether they survived in part in the present structure. (1)
