Full Description

{1} Alpha House is dated to 1882 by a date stone at the top left hand corner of the principal elevation, along with the initials “T.T”. It was possibly built by the family of Richard Thornton, who constructed Marsh House opposite, and Spencer House on High Street. Also constructed in red brick with a slate roof, it is more modest than Marsh House. It is formed of two storeys and three bays with a pitched roof and modillion detailing at the eaves. The windows are two-over-two timber sliding sash, with stone lintels above. The door has been replaced. Brick chimney stacks sit at the gable ends at the apex. It forms a grouping with Marsh House.
