No.5 of 2 storeys with attic, 2-window front, with segmental arches over horned late C19 sashes (2x2 panes) and late C19 shop-front with iron columns to plate-glass windows with splayed brackets to fascia and glazed door. No.7 of 3 storeys, 3-window front; reconverted to dwelling in 1953 with keyed flat arches over bowed tripartite windows with glazing bars flanking doorway with bracketed entablature and segmental pediment, framing 6-panel door with 1953 date to glass; similar arches over paired first-floor and second-floor sashes with glazing bars (all 6x6 panes); dentilled eaves.

INTERIOR: not inspected, but much alteration in C19 and C20 with some older beams; mid C18 staircase with column-on-vase balusters to No.3. EXTRA INFORMATION: the Beatrix Potter Centre (No.9) alterations were designed to copy more exactly the illustrations of the tailor's shop in the story for children: " The Tailor Of Gloucester" by Beatrix Potter, published 1902. The VCH (p.72) notes a building lease for 4 tenements on west side of Crafts Lane (now College Court) which were to have hall and shop on ground floor and solar on jettied upper floor: a detailed investigation would reveal whether any of
this structure has survived. (VCH: The City of Gloucester: Oxford: 1988-: 72).
