10. Preston's Oldest Shop, Cheapside c.1964 This property was once the home of the Town Surgeon Dr. Wortton. He was recorded as residing at this location in 1684. During a renovation of the old shop in the mid 1980's it was found that the supporting timber frame was numbered so that it could easily be assembled on site. It was common for many of the town's old timber framed buildings to be made off site before final assembly. These were the origins of the trade term 'Joiner'.
