Half way along the north side of the main street of Highmarket an
ancient stone gateway, imposing enough to suggest that it was
originally the entrance to some castellated mansion or manor house,
gave access to a square yard, flanked about by equally ancient
buildings. What those buildings had been used for in other days was
not obvious to the casual and careless observer, but to the least
observant their present use was obvious enough. Here were piles of
timber from Norway; there were stacks of slate from Wales; here was
marble from Aberdeen, and there cement from Portland: the old
chambers of the grey buildings were filled to overflowing with all
the things that go towards making a house-ironwork, zinc, lead,
tiles, great coils of piping, stores of domestic appliances. And on
a shining brass plate, set into the wall, just within the gateway,
were deeply engraven the words: Mallalieu and Cotherstone, Builders
and Contractors.
