This is a quite remarkable building because it just isn’t what it appears to be. Originally there must’ve been dwellings here at the top of Bridge Street. Considerable gardens were mentioned which dropped down to Guild Pitts but certainly Union Street did not exist (see Union Street).

In1833, when Union Street was cut through, a fairly large retail shop was built on the corner with shop windows on two sides (see right).
