Silver Street • Ely

 The cottages that make up 7, 9, and 11 Silver Street were once just a single dwelling. Dated to the 15th Century, recently wall paintings have been discovered inside, which may prove to be earlier. 

In the 1980s and 90s the cottages were reputed to be one of the most haunted placed in Ely. A spirit was seen to pass through the dividing wall between the cottages, possibly where doorways once were, or echoing times when this was an open space with a central fireplace. 

The sounds of someone crying has also been heard from the upper floors, but it is not known if this is the same ghost that moves around downstairs. 

The cottages are Grade II listed, and a detailed amount of information is available online if you want to see the wall paintings.
