Description
Stone cellarage probably associated with timber-framed superstructure. Comprises two individual cellars within the property nos.2-3, now amalgamated; a third (PRN 62374) lies under no.1 Peacock Passage but is within the same historic building, a three bay terrace, brick clad, but probably originally timber-framed and of likely 16th-17th-century date: a section of the timber-framed back wall survives inside the brickwork at first-floor level. The cellar to the central bay is largely stone built; the front (west) wall of large sandstone blocks under brickwork courses, with small flattish sandstone rubble at the south end; large blocks of re-used sandstone occur in the south wall. The party wall with no.1 Peacock Passage (and PRN 62374) is largely of brick construction on this side. The cellar to the southernmost bay is largely of brick construction, with its back wall partly constructed of small sandstone rubble. These cellars are not in themselves dateable, but seem most likely to represent cellarage provision to each of the three bays of the former timber-framed building, making use of salvaged masonry, probably repaired or extended when the superstructure was clad in brick, but possibly also incorporating fragmentary earlier structures existing on the site: the Grinshill ashlar masonry in the west (passage) wall of the northern cellar (62374), for example. The structures in the cellars of No.39-40 (eg. 62371) offer an immediate parallel for stone or part-stone structures running at right-angles to the High Street on the opposite side of Peacock Passage <1><2>
