History
No 35 started out its life as a single house but after the Pub closed at No36 it was purchased by Mr Gaskin and he knocked through to No35 to make his greengrocers bigger but during the late 19901s it was put back into two separate houses. In 1900 it was occupied by Robert Money Fruiterer and Greengrocers. You can see in the picture the stained glass window above a passageway behind the front door.CREDIT: Lowestoft High Street, The Butcher, The Baker and The Candlestick Maker by Crispin Hook 2016 Get the book
Architecture
There is no reference to this property in the Lowestoft Manor Roll of 1618 (Suffolk Archives, 194/A10/73), but only to the dwellings on either side now represented by Nos. 33-34 and No. 36 High Street. No. 35 was built on land belonging to No. 36, at some point during the mid-17th century, following release or development of it (there is no record) by Margaret Tooley, younger daughter of Robert Tooley (grocer), who had been left the ground in her father’s will of 22 December 1652. Her older sister, Elizabeth, had received what is now No. 36 - and while manor court entries exist for transfers relating to this property, there is nothing extant for No. 35. A list of property-holders in the town c. 1720-25, compiled by the vicar, Revd. John Tanner (Suffolk Archives, 454/1), names its occupant as Mr. Stephen Buxton (mariner and merchant). He had right of access to the well in the yard of No. 36 for the purpose of drawing water. CREDIT:David Butcher
