Abstract: |
A watching brief during the refurbishment of the Grade II listed building on the corner of The Borough and Castle Street, Hinckley, Leicestershire was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in May 2006. The refurbishments encompassed the conversion of upper storey offices with ancillary rooms into three self-contained flats. The inspection of the building has provided an indication of the development sequence of this early nineteenth century building. Initial observations suggest that an original three-storey building fronted onto The Borough. To the rear of the property was a two-storey building running perpendicular to the former. The building fronting onto Castle Street appears to be a slightly later addition; renovations that included re-roofing the two buildings as one. The earlier roofline of the two-storey building was still visible to the rear of the building fronting onto The Borough. External differences in the build between the Castle Street building and The Borough building were evidenced in differences in fenestration and the moulded eaves course. |
