From the late 18th century this building stood at the western end of a block of three dwellings fronting the road later known as Lisbon Place, and in about 1850 was converted a public house called the Wheatsheaf. Unlike its neighbours it was set back slightly and had a small garden area in the front which, in the early 1890s was filled in with the present front extension, presumably for a new saloon bar. The cast iron brackets which supported the facia board still remain. In 1922 the public house became a fried fish bar which continued in business until WWII. After the war it changed again to the ‘Enterprise Café’ which ran until 1953, since which time it has served a variety of purposes such as shoes repairers, licensed betting and (presently) upholstery. The two adjoining dwellings were demolished in 1963 along with Carlton Terrace on the east side, for the development of the Marjory Whimster Home in the late 1970s.
