The fire station is the prominent brick building centre right. It was built in 1897.

The shops to the right of the fire station are numbers 54 to 57: the number 57 can just be made out on the rightmost property.

The single storey building with the gable end to the left of the fire station is the Ferry Lane Almshouses. These were in a 'dangerous state' in 1841 (P).

The shops on the left, on the north side of the High Street start at around no. 276. There is a sign for C. Martin visible and a Charles W Martin, plumber, lived at no. 276 in 1901.
