Summary
Shops with accommodation over. Possibly c1700, rebuilt c1895.
Reasons for Designation
* Architectural interest: a good example of a well-proportioned late-C19 town building which may incorporate some C17 and early-C18 fabric;
* Group value: it forms an important part of the design of a group of buildings which lie on a significant street within the conservation area and world heritage site of the City of Bath.
History
Like Nos. 9 and 10 Cheap Street (qv) these are possibly designed by Major Charles Davis. They may be a re-fronting of existing C17 and early C18 houses, but the degree of internal survival is unknown. Nos 3-5 are thought to retain older fabric within. They are situated in an important and long-established main shopping street in the centre of Bath, which takes its name from the old English for Market, which was widened and re-fronted under Baldwin’s direction in c1790.
