Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Pharmacy Services Group to carry out building recording of Cosby Pharmacy, no. 67 Main Street, Cosby, Leicestershire, which is centred on OS NGR SP 54789 94896. It is not a listed building and is located within the Cosby Conservation Area. The recording was carried out in 2016 prior to and during alteration at Historic England Level 1/2 as a condition of planning permission. The Pharmacy is a two storey red brick building with a slate roof. It is laid out as a shop on one side and a house on the other. The building is late 19th century in appearance with horned sash windows and decorated terracotta lintels. It is clearly shown on the 1904 OS map and appears to be depicted on the 1886 OS map. The building retains many of its original features. In 2003 an early post-medieval timber-framed section of wall was identified between nos 67 and 69 Main Street. No. 69 Main Street is attached to the rear elevation of no. 67. It appears that no 67 Main Street was rebuilt in the late 19th century on the site of an earlier timber-framed building. An uncoursed stone rubble plinth was observed running along the rear elevation of no. 67, which appears to be a survival of the earlier building. During the alteration works, a timber was found in the gable wall between nos 67 and 69 Main Street. Soft stripping of plaster from internal walls revealed that some bricks were reused. |
