SE3033SW MILL HILL
714-1/78/256 (East side)
05/08/76 Nos.9 AND 10

GV II

House, warehouse and workshops, now shop and offices. Early
C18 with C19 and 20 alterations. Brick, rendered and lined in
imitation of ashlar; slate roof, larger eaves courses. Brick
stacks: far left (very tall) and to ridge between windows 5
and 6.
3 storeys, 6 windows wide. Tall narrow sashes to first floor,
segmental arches, sills, flush frames, traces of wedge
lintels. 5 square windows to 2nd floor, sash far left, no
window to right, but sill projects. Ground floor: main
entrance (No.9) below window 3: moulded surround, overlight;
plain entrance (No.10) far right; C20 projecting shop fronts.
INTERIOR: main room lit by windows 3, 4, has an C18 fireplace
against the left wall: fluted pilasters, dentilled cornice,
decorated frieze; fielded-panel shutters to windows. Remains
of 2 sets of original stairs: to rear left on upper floors 2
flights, reset, slender column balusters; the right door opens
into stairway, the top flight having fine knopped column and
vase balusters. Roof structure; at least one truss comprises a
king post with braces rising from base to underside of
principal rafter.
The house built in the first half of the C18, possibly for a
merchant clothier and a rare survival in the oldest part of
the city.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the building was divided up by 1826, probably
a horizontal division, No.10 reached from the stairs to right.
The premises were then used by a cabinet maker and upholsterer
and a boot and shoe maker. By 1839 a tailor and draper was at
No.9 and Daniel Backhouse, overlooker (ie in charge of workers
in a textile mill) lived at No.10. The tailor and draper
remained until at least 1861 but by 1851 an eating house had
been established at No.10; maps show that the house then
backed onto Princes Court.
