Like Nos. 9 and 10 Cheap Street (qv) these are possibly designed by Major Charles Davis. They may be a re-fronting of existing C17 and early C18 houses, but the degree of internal survival is unknown. Nos 3-5 are thought to retain older fabric within. They are situated in an important and long-established main shopping street in the centre of Bath, which takes its name from the old English for Market, which was widened and re-fronted under Baldwin’s direction in c1790.
