Description:Viewed from Exchange Street, this photograph shows the north end of the rear (west) elevation of 43-44 Queen Square which is one of the few timber-framed buildings remaining in Wolverhampton. It is Grade II listed. This view shows the 16th century timber-framed gabled bay with brick underbuilding. The Interior of the rear wing has chamfered beams and jointed cruck trusses. The building has been occupied by the Lych Gate Tavern since 2011.

Hemmings’ shop opened in 1954 and sold china and pottery. It was demolished when 43-44 Queen Square was restored by Wolverhampton Council in the late 1970s.
