21: Middleton Street

This street is mainly Georgian in character. Houses of the mid-18th century, such as Beech House, Caius House and No 14 help give the street a grand atmosphere in terms of scale and quality. Also with an 18th century facade is Priory House. The fleur-de-lys crest over its door indicates that the house was used by the Grammar School until it closed in 1903. On the opposite side of the road are the Priory Gardens. Sharing this site is the former Post Office, a brick building dated 1939. Next to No 14 is one of the very few surviving single-bay timber-framed houses which makes a fine contrast in scale with the rest of the buildings in the street.

WALK>> continue until you are at the junction with Church Street and Damgate where Market Street begins.
