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
