Project involved reinstating a lost or damaged historic feature
Nos. 19 & 19a Sadler Gate
This Grade II listed property is located on Sadler Gate, with a front elevation which dates to the early-nineteenth century and potentially older fabric internally. It forms a distinct group with the surrounding properties, which make a very positive contribution to the historic character of the conservation area. Prior to the grant the building was in a poor state of repair, with a leaking roof, damaged render on the front elevation, boarded windows at first floor level and an inappropriate modern shop front at ground floor level.
The PSiCA enabled works to repair the fabric of the building and ensure its water-tightness. This included the roof, render on the upper floors and the reinstatement of the first floor windows. A traditional shop front was reinstated at ground floor level, incorporating the surround of the side passageway. Following the completion of the works, this once vacant property found a new use as a bar/restaurant.
No. 15-17 Iron Gate
This Grade II listed buildings upper floors had fallen into a poor state of repair including damaged stonework and windows. The scope of works included stonework and window repairs.
No. 25 Thorntree Lane
Located on Thorntree Lane, the Britannia Cafe had suffered from inappropriate window installation and damage to the frontage. The scope of works included the reinstatement of traditional windows and repairs to the building fabric.
The Old Bell Hotel, No. 51 Sadler Gate
Located on the historic Sadler Gate, The Old Bell Hotel had been neglected for years; the roof was leaking and the rainwater goods were either damaged or plastic. The mock Tudor facade was crumbling with missing timber and render parts. The upper floor windows were in a state of disrepair and the majority of the ground floor windows were boarded up, including the curved corner windows. The lanterns had been blocked from the inside and covered from the outside. The main structure was missing along with the leaded glass and an inappropriate modern shop front had been fitted.
The scope of works included repairs to the roof, windows, doors, building frontage and fabric repairs. The historic shop front was reinstated and the associated lanterns repaired.
No. 28/28a Sadler Gate
Located on Sadler Gate, No 28 had previously been fitted with an inappropriate modern shop front, with separate upper floor offices featuring modern windows. The scope of works included the removal of the modern frontage and the reinstatement of a traditional shop front and side door. The reinstatement of the upper floor windows was undertaken as a separate application.
