You can see the main timbers in a medieval shop here. This requires the free Adobe Macromedia Shockwave plugin. You can spin round the model by dragging the mouse.

Most early medieval shops had a single door, a long corridor to the living accommodation off which, near the front, would be a door to the shop area. This would have one or sometimes two unglazed windows facing the street. 

The living accommodation usually consisted of a single large hall stretching up to the roof with an open fire in the middle; there was usually a simple staircase up to the single bedroom above the shop.  Later houses often had more elaborate living accommodation, maybe consisting of three jettied floors.

Other 3d pictures, interactions and animations of timber frame buildings are available on request and some will soon be available in the public part of this site.
