116 HIGH STREET Two adjoining houses, 8 and 9 Main Street were built circa 1482 - 5 by William and Henry Burdon. The Burdon family retained ownership of the site into the early 19th century. Brewster describes the building as “one of lath & plaster with a projection resting on 2 pillars (of Frosterly marble) called the Blue Posts originally brought from the Castle and now restored to the place of tis ruins.� The houses were demolished in 1811 and replaced with a shop and house. The Blue Post Inn used to face the High Street but it moved into the yard behind. Records seem to indicate use as two separate premises until the late 19th century.

However the earliest known occupier of No.130 was a Mr. Joseph Wade, chemist, druggist and tea dealer, from 1827-51.
