Statement of Interest

Group with 46 and 50 Castlegate. Listed despite misguided and unauthorised recent 'restoration', which involved removing the render, replacing windows and dormer, heavy repointing, lowering of a stack, and moving of the front wall. It can only be hoped that listing will encourage remedial works to this, one of th oldest buildings in the Castlegate.
