Petty France is first recorded in 1482 as a location where French wool merchants had settled. By 1682, Petty France had been significantly built up, with coach traffic from the west stimulating the development of inns and coaching yards within a web of smaller interconnecting streets running south of Petty France.
Early records indicate 58 Petty France was built in the early 1700s. 60 Petty France, built slightly later served as a public house called Coach & Horses from 1844. The U shaped block was constructed in the 1880s and served as a stable block with carriage accommodation on the ground floor, stables and tack room on the 1st floor served by a ramp and accommodation for grooms on the 2nd floor. Throughout the 20th century the 3 buildings served in a variety of different ways, 1927 tea room as well as the home to a photographic paper manufacturer, then in 1948 the stables were converted into a sponge factory. Other occupiers included a lantern slide maker, an engineering firm and an adverstising agency, tea importers and vending machine manufacturers.
