Row 63 and a half map

Records as far back as the above date mention this row. In 1835 John Cole, one of the town's four letter carriers lived in the turnpike row. Today some of the few remaining flint houses are supported by wooden struts across the row.*2

Row no. 63 1/2 leads from Howard street towards the Market Place, and is called Turnpike Row, probably from there having been at the end of it, a pike to prevent the passage of carts.*1
