Original windows were of 15 square panes and set back to accommodate shutters, as in No.15; Nos 9 & 11 retain re-set small-pane windows. A continuous louvred ventilation grille runs across the heads of windows and doors; most have been boarded over but open ones survive in Nos 5 & 9. Shop front to No.1 returns at left end, on Market Place, with 12-pane window beneath blocked louvred ventilation grille. Overhanging roof forms continuous canopy over shop fronts. INTERIOR: each shop, except No.7, retains small fireplace, now blocked-off or with replacement grate, against rear wall.

The shops are said to have been butchers' shops. (Hudleston N A: History of Malton and Norton: Scarborough: 1962-: 189-90).
