3 & 4 BLACK LION STREET

These dilapidated houses were not part of the original Black Lion Street, but were probably early Victorian. At first they were occupied as private houses, but since 1862 No 3 had been a public house, named “The British Rifleman”. The adjoining property was for many years a fishmonger’s shop and later a restaurant. Derelict since the 1939-1945 War, they were demolished in 1951.
