In 1435 No. 52 was the home of William Chiltenham, a barber, and belonged to the chapel of St John the Evangelist, which held it until the chapels were dissolved. In 1548 the Crown granted it to Hugh and Miles Partridge. Cider House Passage runs between No. 52 and No. 51.

Do you remember Broad Street?

A coffee and an email at NetGates in 1996, a haircut at Wild At Heart, brunch at Ironworks, or a desk in the offices upstairs: if you have a photo or a story about No. 51 or its neighbours, from any decade, we would love to see it.
