Bede House
This rubble-built structure at 20-22 Don Street dates from 1676, and for a short time after 1787 it housed eight Bedesmen - poor, single men, aged over 60. The house is now a private dwelling but a sheltered housing complex named Bede House Court was opened nearby in 1964.

Note the fish-hakes on the wall where salted, gutted haddocks would be spread to dry to provide food later in the year.
