No. 31 Sadler Gate
31 Sadler Gate is an unlisted property located at the corner or Sadler Gate and The Strand, giving it a ‘flatiron’ appearance. The property may date to as early as 1798, and has seen significant alterations throughout its history, including the removal of its third storey. The shop front retained some features, including much of the historic layout and proportions. Only minor alterations had been made, and it was proposed that the inappropriate elements be removed and reinstated. The condition of the surviving historic fabric also required repair in a number of places.
The PSiCA enabled the lost elements of the frontages to be reinstated and the surviving elements to be conserved, including the fascia, stall riser and pilasters.
No. 10 Friar Gate
This unlisted property is located to the east of Friar Gate. The building appears to have previously functioned as part of a fairly large printworks, featuring a domestic frontage. The ground floor features were removed and replaced with an inappropriate shop front during the second half of the twentieth century, leaving little material evidence of the property’s original features. With little evidence of the historic design, a new frontage was designed based upon properties of a similar age within the nearby vicinity. The resultant shop front is of Victorian style and proportions, and now makes a positive contribution to the property and its immediate setting within the Friar Gate conservation area. The works included the installation of a cast iron hanging sign, as well as a security gate.
