ANSTY House/pump house
Ansty House stands on the corner of the High Street and Park Road, with Alan Woodward's butchers on its southern side. The building has housed various business over the years, including an optician's, a nail bar, a boutique and a greengrocer's. In 1891, as "Anstey Villas", it was home to three separate businesses. 61-year old George Heasman probably occupied the present premises of Jeremy's - if the census order is anything to go by - and he was a baker, pastry cook and confectioner. Then there was 54-year old labourer James Silsby, wife Fanny and their two children. Finally - perhaps where Cinders boutique is now - there was a butcher's assistant called Henry Martin and his family, plus a lodger called Susannah Stevens.
For a period of time, the left-hand side of the building was named Pump House.
