The houses display decorative elements and finishes that reveal how merchants decorated their homes across different centuries. Walking through them, you notice how residents marked their spaces with personal touches and craftsmanship.
The property sits on South Quay where it is easy to locate and clearly marked for visitors. You can explore the interior at your own pace or join a guided tour to learn more.
The house contains original brick patterns and wall decorations that show the building techniques of local craftsmen from centuries past. These details are rare surviving examples of construction methods that were lost elsewhere.
