9.2.3 The first property, No.72 on the east side of Hall Street has a shop unit at ground floor. In contrast to the attractive No.65 on the other side of the road, it is an unpromising entrance to the conservation area as it has been substantially altered with very little of interest remaining. There is also a proliferation of signage and advertising boards clustered around the front of the building. 9.2.4 The northern end of the street is, however, predominantly lined on its eastern side with the double fronted, gault brick and hipped slate roof dwellings that are found throughout the village as a result of rebuilding after fires. Nos.62/64 are two fine examples of this building type and are Grade II Listed. The use of flint on the lesser elevations of this building type is relatively common at this point in the village. 11
9.2.5 The middle section of Hall Street is more mixed in character, containing a variety of generally smaller, and often altered, traditional dwellings, interspersed with the larger gault brick houses and some more recent infill. The modern housing estates that surround <strong>Soham</strong>’s historic central spine also intrude into the streetscape in places. 9.2.6 The views south along this northern stretch of Hall Street is terminated by Nos.6/8, a large house occupying the prominent corner position at the bend in Hall Street where Speed Lane diverges from it. Croft House at the southern end of Hall Street provides a similar function in views north along Pratt Street. 9.2.7 Hall Street, already a fairly generous width, opens up at its convergence with Bushel Lane and Speed Lane, and this junction is marked by the only other two commercial properties in the street. On the western side are the premises of a funeral directors and a small takeaway unit has been inserted into the end property of Cranby Terrace on the eastern side. The unenclosed tarmac forecourt of the funeral directors, together with the adjacent lawned area, increases this open feeling. 12
