LOWER BOROUGH WALLS
(South side)
No.5
05/08/75

GV II

Houses, now shop with accommodation over. Mid C18 with C20 alterations. Possibly by Thomas Jelly.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar with pantile roof.
PLAN: Double depth plan, originally part of terrace, adjoining houses of which have been demolished following bomb damage. No.5 was originally two houses as the party wall on the roof shows.
EXTERIOR: Three storeys and attic. First floor sill band. Paired glazing bar sashes, six/six in plain reveals, centred to upper floors. c1983 shopfront on ground floor, Doric pilasters, central entrance, plate glass windows, house doorway to right. Cornice, parapet, mansard roof with two flat topped four-light dormers with small paned casements, stone ridge stacks with pots. Return elevation on left shows two stacks with small fireplaces from demolished adjoining house. Rear elevation has plain two/two sash windows and paired dormers as front.
INTERIOR: Not inspected, except ground floor, which retains nothing of special interest.
HISTORY: This may be one of the houses built following the decision recorded in the Council Minutes (30th September 1765) to allow Richard Jones, Thomas Jelly and H Fisher to pull down the Borough Wall to build new houses. It is certainly built on the line of the wall.
