Description from record TR 15 NE 177:
Nos 42A, 43 and 44 (Broad Street House) Broad Street [TR 15305801 sited from OS 1/1250 1971]. Grade II. An 18th century range. (1) 18th century facades to earlier timber-framed buildings. (2) Probably 16th century. (3) Internal refurbishment of No 43 Broad Street, the central part of a building extending from 42A to 44, led to inspection of internal timberwork. The facade was originally timber, later rebuilt in brick, probably at the time of its first partitioning. Architechtrual detail similar to that in the roof was previously observed in late 16th century buildings. (4)

The Canterbury UAD mentions that this inn, The Malt Shovel was located on the corner of Old Ruttington Lane, previously known as SHEPHERD'S WAKE. Directory records name the innkeeper in 1838 as William Cullen Irons. He was still there in 1846-1862. One of several inns in Broad Street, this inn does not appear to have had a very long existance. Now a private house. (5)
