GV II

Shops with offices over. 1805-1820, partially demolished and rebuilt c1983. By John Palmer, City Architect (street elevations designed 1801, approved 1803), rebuilt by Alec French and Partners.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, roofs not visible from street.
PLAN: Double depth plan, but almost wholly rebuilt. Nos 1-6 rebuilt behind semi-facsimile facade, Nos 7-9 rebuilt behind existing facade. Long block on slightly rising level, with radiused corner to Northgate Street.
EXTERIOR: Three storeys with full height attic. Twenty-four-bays to whole, one:one (facing Northgate Street): six (radius): six:four:six, last four and six being ramped up. Tuscan colonnade of eleven columns to radiused corner, covered footway behind and plate glass shop windows. Part of design bears no relation to John Palmer elevations. Nos 6 and 7 have 1983 Regency type shopfronts, No. 6 by J. Hepworth & Son Ltd, and No. 7 by J. Deacon, architect, with plate glass windows set within timber pilastered frame. Nos 8 and 9 have good large c1900 double shopfront with pedimented entrance, plate glass windows set within Ionic half-column frame. Formerly Red House Bakery. Shop designed by AJ Taylor in c1903, but present one appears to be wholly c1983 reproduction. Upper floors have reproduction sashes in plain reveals, six/six to first, eight/eight to second and attic storey. Windows of Nos 6 and 7. Nos 8 and 9 windows at higher level, and cornices at second floor and parapet levels are ramped up. Parapet also ramped up, roof not visible, ashlar stacks with pots to Nos 5, 7, 8 and 9 only.
INTERIORS: Wholly rebuilt behind facade. Development has internal courtyard of c1980 appearance.
HISTORY: Part of Palmer's modernisation of the retail heart of the Georgian city, consisting of a characteristically sweeping redevelopment. It is retained on list as important piece of neoclassical streetscape, but the only historic survival now remaining is nine-bay facade of Nos 7-9.
