Nearly a century and a half on Main Street

83 Main Street was built in 1881 as a traditional local butcher's shop and residence. Over the years since, it has been a gift shop, a graphic artist's studio, and a music shop — each leaving something of itself behind. Today the Grade II listed frontage looks much as it always has, while inside, two floors are now home to Abrahams Gallery, showing work from a number of represented artists, and the studio apartment above carries the building's history in its period furniture and fittings.
