Abstract: |
Buildings affected by proposals to develop an area of land in Hereford between Berrington Street and Aubrey Street have been assessed with respect to the impacts they may have on built heritage in the area. Some consideration has been given to those buildings with heritage values worthy of retention. The oldest and most intact façades are Clarence House on the corner of Aubrey Street and West Street (built 1863-88) and the former bakehouse/warehouse adjacent to this (built 1890-1904). Some internal features survive within both but (with the exception of the cast iron pillars in the bake house) these do not add to the evidential value of the buildings. The remaining structures that date back about a century are much lower status buildings and in all cases have undergone subsequent alterations that are not in line with their original use or design. As such the value of these assets would be slightly less than of local significance and with well designed modern replacements that might secure the future of the more valuable assets within the group (namely Clarence House and the remains of the Bake House/Warehouse on West Street) their loss would not result in a significant reduction in historic value for this part of Hereford. Of the four adjacent listed buildings a carefully planned new build behind Mary Price's almshouses could enhance the setting of these important timber framed structures. There is little significant impact on the rear of the Green Dragon Hotel, the Stagecoach Public House and the Gala Bingo hall. |
