                              No.2 King Street
                  From 1984 to 1989 the three upper floors
               were the premises of Newsfield Ltd, publishers
               of Britain's two most influential video games
                 magazines of the era:Crash and Zzap!64 for
                   the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 home
               computers respectively. Alongside professional
                journalists, both periodicals employed many
                  pupils from Ludlow C of E School, whose
                    youthful opinions became the buying
                      guide for a generation of youth.

........and the rest, as they say, is history........

Four-storey with cellar, brick built in 1829, with Welsh slate roof. Has an angled return to the side to accomodate the narrow side alley leading to the church.
