Description:
Baxter's Place was built by Jonn Baxter in 1800. Nos 1 - 2 have Roman Doric pilasters with broken entablatures. Prior to the development, No 1 Baxter's Place was entered through a large shop extension whicb had been built over the original basement area and front garden. No 2 was the entrance to the stair leading onto the upper floors and No 3 was Ground Floor and Basement Flat; this also had a later shop extension fronting it. The original forgarden was overbuilt by shop extensions and a new mansard roof was built. The restoration removed all later alterations and additions and rebuilt the ground floor façade in natural stone. The small foregarden was reformed and enclosed with railings to match the original.
