No. 16: Cash & Go
No. 16 dates from the late eighteenth century. It is a Grade II listed building (ref. 1485/177).
In 1772 a survey of every house in the city was taken in consequence of the Mileways Act of 1771. No. 16 was then in the occupation of a Mrs Clement, and its frontage measured 3 yards 1 feet 6 inches (by far the narrowest house in the street)
At the time of the 1851 census the building was occupied by Thomas Harris, bookseller and librarian, with his wife and baby son, a student lodger, and two servants.
In 1861 it was occupied by Mrs Wiggins and her three daughters Annie, Jenny, and Emily, all described as assistants in a Berlin warehouse. By 1881 it was occupied by Miss Mary Wiggins, a "Berlin wool rep" with one female boarder and two servants.
