Description:Greengate Street looking towards the Market Square. 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 Stafford Borough Council and opened to the public as a heritage and exhibition centre in 1987. Brookfield's Tailors also on the left. On the right is the seventeenth century Bear Inn, built on the site of the Old Black Bear Inn. It is possible some of the old building was used in the structure of the present.
