During medieval times, it was common practice for houses to be constructed in rows against the town walls. As it typical for two rows to be built from opposite ends of the street towards each other, there was often the situation that the gap between them was used to build a much smaller house at minimum cost.

Despite its cramped size, the house was inhabited from the 16th century until 1900, when the last occupant – an ironically tall fisherman – moved out. The council had declared the house unfit for human habitation, along with several equally small neighbouring houses. Although the other properties were demolished by town planners, local people campaigned and raised enough money to convert the remaining house into the tourist attraction it remains today.
