Abstract: |
A level 2-type archaeological recording was carried out following the submission of a planning application to convert the former hotel garage into a domestic dwelling. The building is opposite the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel, which forms part of a Grade II Listed block of properties which is thought to have been constructed by William Gradwell in 1875 to the designs of Howard Evans, the town surveyor. The 1910 Rating Valuation shows that it was occupied by Ward and Scott and it was probably utilised as part of their livery stable, which operated on nearby Whittaker Street until it became a garage in the 1930s. It was originally used as a stable; two rows of post pads running the length of the building mark the position of the stalls which were probably removed in the early 20th century with the growing popularity of the motor car. In the later part of the 20th century the building fell into disrepair, many of the windows and one of the doors were blocked, and it was damaged by fire. |
