The upper storey has no window and there is no internal access to it from below or from the buildings on either side. The ground storey contains shop premises which overlap on the south into No.6 (qv). The 2 jettied bays, now divided between Nos 8 and 9, both contain shop premises.

C20 shop fronts on the ground storey. INTERIOR: No.8 has exposed timbers to each storey, part of the original rear wall with studding, and a later rear extension beyond it. A main beam has mortices for a former service end partition. No original features are exposed in No.9, but during restoration of the adjoining property the roof was seen to have a plain crown-post.
