Description


LANCASTER

SD4761NE SUN STREET 1685-1/7/305 (East side) No.25

GV II

Coach house, now part of printing works. Late C18, altered early C19 and C20. Sandstone ashlar, with coursed rubble to sides and rear, and slate roof. Double-depth plan with gable chimney stacks, and a rear extension to the left. 3 storeys and 3 bays, 2 wide ones with a narrow one to the right. A band between the ground and first floors and stone gutter-brackets. The ground floor is composed of 2 arched openings, now blocked and partly glazed, whose imposts form a broken band and whose keystones rise to meet the band above the ground floor. To the right is a narrow doorway, now with a glazed door; the lower face of its lintel is hollowed to give the appearance of a basket arch. All the windows have plain reveals but recent joinery. Those above the arches have concrete lintels. Masonry infill between the windows to the 2 upper windows in the left-hand bay suggests that there may have been a loading slot here. INTERIOR: ground floor originally open, with a staircase to the first floor across the back wall. HISTORY: marked on the 5 feet to one mile OS map, surveyed in 1845, as a police station, although built as a coach house on the ground floor. (Ordnance Survey: Map of Lancaster at Five Feet to One Mile: Southampton: 1849-).
