It accesses BeastFair, via the passageway with the white wall; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/241724
I did some recording work on this many years ago when it was first restored. The building it’s attached to facing Beastfair is even older although you’d be hard pressed to tell from its much later brick facade.

It’s present condition is the result of a long dispute between the owner and tenant (a brewery chain), exacerbated by an Ill-judged intervention by the local council.
