Date:1894 - 1895 (c.)
Description:On the far right is Dale's ironmongers shop. The building was a typical Tudor house, originally thatched, and first used as a shop in 1811 when Bartlem Tomlinson started his ironmonger's business there. Philip Dale was one of his apprentices. In 1826 Dale set up his own business, acquiring Tomlinson's old premises in 1835. The timber framed building on the left is the Ancient High House, built by Richard Dorrington in 1595. In 1826 the building was bought by John Marson, who converted the lower floor into shops. The building is now owned by the Borough Council and opened to the public as a heritage and exhibition centre in 1987. The light coloured building opposite the High House is Motteram's jewellers shop.
