Reasons for Designation
12 Fore Street is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
History
12 Fore Street was built in the early to mid-C19 as a single-bay house, infilling the plot between 10 and 14 Fore Street. The building is shown on the 1831 map of Cullompton by RP Davy with a narrow passage between it and 10 Fore Street to the north. By the late C19, as shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey map, 10 and 12 Fore Street had been amalgamated to form a single building. A new shopfront was created across the frontage and a pilaster with a console bracket above survives to the outer corner of both 10 and 12 Fore Street. By the late C20, they had been re-divided into two separate shop units; the shopfronts are late C20 insertions. The passage had been retained internally and continues to provide access to Hungerford Court to the rear of 10 Fore Street. In the early C21, the shop unit of 12 Fore Street was knocked through to the shop unit of 14 and 16 Fore Street to the south, to form a single commercial unit.
