109-111 High Street

The core of this building (the part on the right hand side with five windows on the first floor) was probably built as a large private house around 1800. By the 1850s it had either been extended westward, or a pre-existing shop on the west side had been encorperated into the building. In the 1870s it was the town post office.

By the 1880s the building was owned by George Paul, owner of an ironmongers called H Paul & Sons, and he used the entire ground floor as his large shop, with him and his wife Elizabeth living above.

It has since then been split into two shops.
