Forebooth

The instrument concludes with the statement that these things were 'done in the forebooth of the tenement or lodging ….'

This might be rebuilt with permission, or on payment of a fine (set down in borough archives), as a permanent shop or forebooth perhaps, with an unglazed window to the street.

Helen Dunbar had the liferent of this booth (described as a forebooth with a foreshop adjacent) and died about 1605.

He also had the forebooth on the south side and the pentice below the outside stairs.
