The Severns Building

This medieval building was probably built in the mid-14th century, and actually, it's not in its original location because in 1969, it was taken apart entirely and moved to its present location near the entrance of the castle, a little further down. It's one of city's three medieval houses, and like most of the houses before the 17th century, the facade is constructed of wooden beams and plaster. The original roof, is similar to one of the houses of Old Market Square, and its use for many years has been mainly commercial, housing shops of all kinds.
