North Parade House, in Monmouth Wales, dates from the late 18th century, and was refurbished in c.1800 by a wool merchant who took over the malthouse next door as a wool store, along with the cottages further up the street as housing for his workers.

This was the original malt-house that was converted into a warehouse for preparing and storing the wool.

The roof of this part is also hidden behind a parapet and is hipped from front to back.

Keith Kissack suggested that the house, former work place and cottages are a well-preserved example of the way business, industry and family life could be combined.
