Description: | 1975.
Image shows a very old, stone built cottage located in Booth's Yard, formerly Hammerton Fold. It has a corbelled, and stepped chimney stack which is of historic interest. This, and the adjoining house had been used by grocer, James Booth in the 19th century as warehouses on two storeys, but the buildings are thought to date back further to the 18th century. (James Booth had a grocer's shop on the corner of Booth's Yard at number 22 Lowtown from c1867.) Several years after this photograph was taken the properties in Booth's Yard (all Grade II listed) were completely renovated and restored. This cottage, and the adjoining property were converted to the World's End wine bar and restaurant which opened in 1983. The house in the background, right, is Wesley house, and that also eventually became part of World's End.
