Summary

Shown as a row of three terraced buildings at the Tuly Street end of Gammon's Lane, now Gammon Walk, on the 1855-95 town map, No. 15 Tuly Street and Nos 8 and 9 Gammon's Lane were an interesting group of 19th century buildings distinguished by their eccentric architectural detailing. The site has now been redeveloped and the design of the new building reflects that of the Gliddon and Square warehouse on the opposite corner.

No. 15 Tuly Street together with Nos 8 and 9 Gammon Lane are an interesting group of 19th century buildings distinguished by their eccentric architectural detailing. No. 15, for example, has a gothic doorway to the rear of the building and a late medieval style timber screen between the entrance hall and the front room. No. 8 has 18th century style panelling in a similar position. These features do not appear to have been reused from earlier buildings put to have been purpose made for the houses.
