STOURPORT ON SEVERN

SO8171SW LICHFIELD STREET
589-1/9/43 (North side)
05/07/50 Nos.5-8 (Consecutive)

GV II

Block of 4 houses, built as a single design. c1800. Brick with
Welsh slate roof. 3-storeyed, each dwelling a single bay.
Central section symmetrical, but overall symmetry disrupted by
Victorian addition and partial rebuilding to No.8. Two outer,
and 2 central doorways in pedimented cases with traceried
fanlights over 6-panelled doors. Central doorways form a pair
and the pediments spring from a single central architrave.
Windows are 16-pane sashes (8-pane to attic), with segmentally
arched brick heads and stone sills, some renewed in original
openings. Dentilled eaves band, gable end stacks. No. 8 has a
shallow pitched, 2-storeyed, late C19 addition housing upper
"ballroom". An original doorcase survives, suggesting that
this section is in fact a partial rebuild of an earlier bay. A
later flat-roofed extension (also C19) projects forward of the
building line. Original staircases with moulded open string
and several marble and slate fire-places remain inside.
