Early to mid C19. The 1833 map shows No 5 combined with No 3 as the Eagle and Child PH and No 7 as the Star Inn PH. The 1871 OS map, however, does not mark either as a Public House.

Small-pane sash windows offset to left (9, 12 and 16-pane); cambered heads to 1st floor. 6-panel door to left with traceried overlight. Modern shopfront to right. Projecting chimney breast at rear.
