Summary

Site of nineteenth century house and shop. Demolished in 1986 during re-development work of the former Gas Works site, St. Anne's Lane.

Underlying the building waterlogged deposits were discovered containing structural timber thought potentially to relate to medieval salt-working (see CHER 180/0/3).
