Brian Ham kindly sent some further information on 105 High Street (in May 2011):

We have an architects drawing dated August 1928 referring to a pair of cottages belonging to Mr Gow made by W Stephenson Raine,  Architect and Surveyor, Hungerford.

Bonnie believes that at this time the cottages were derelict.

Picture 105 shows the ground floor at that time.

Picture 1053 shows the upper floor at that time.

Note the Cow passage passing through the right hand cottage, although the  present cow shed belonged to 106, and none was shown on the plan for  105. 

There were however 2 outhouses which are now in the garden of 104.

At that time the garden still extended up to Fairview Road.

As far as we know the cottages were modified to picture 1051 which is how the ground floor is today.

It is possible that at this time the whole of the front  of 105 and 106 was reskinned in brick, as there is no trace of blocked  up doorways as there is at the back of the houses.

A fire in bedroom two of the left hand cottage destroyed  the floor and possibly the roof. The bedroom was never replaced so we  have the double storied Great Hall as Ed Sackville calls it. So the  upstairs looks like 1054.

Looking at the rooves at the back, it appears that  the properties were originally only one room deep. The extensions were  made later and the reason the right hand extension is shorter than the  left is because there is a well immediately outside the window. 

The  well is half round and the other half is under the floor of what is now  the television room.

Note that there is no sign of the larder which connects  105 to 106 (in fact in places the two houses overlap!).

Note how the  third dormer from the right (Attic 3 of 105) is over the right hand  window of the front lounge of 106.
