Grade II listed 12 Old Street, Ludlow

Now the premises of Trevor Lloyd, bookbinding and restoration, 12 Old Street was built in the 18th century. The shop front is a 20th century addition.

In 1742, 12 Old Street was listed as the Golden Lion, and was one of the town's leading coaching inns,
a role it maintained throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. It was from this inn that the last coach departed for Birmingham before the coming of the railways. From the 1840s onwards the premises were the venue for many auctions. By 1926 the inn had become a Temperance Hotel. In the 1930s its usage changed again, to a cycle shop. C1970 some of the building was sold off and became the public library. From 1980 onwards it was an antiques shop.

Grade II listed in October 1969. Its colourful neighbour on the left Link

is also Grade II listed.
