| Abstract: |
The site occupies an area historically known as Swan Dock or Wharf. Two buildings on the site, numbers 71 and 77 South Street, were recorded at English Heritage Level 3; the remainder of the buildings were recorded at Level 1 or 2, as appropriate. The survey work and historic map evidence has established that number 71 was formerly a granary forming part of a complex of granary buildings in the north part of the site, the remainder of which are now lost. The building was subject to alterations, probably in the 1930s, including the insertion of a shopfront at its western end, and being truncated at its eastern end by 1967. The upper floors of the building were converted to residential accommodation in the second half of the 20th century. Number 77 is a mid-19th century townhouse, extended and altered, largely at ground floor level; this appears to have occurred in the 1940s. There is evidence that the building was subsequently used as a dental surgery and opticians, before its most recent use as a tattoo parlour. The remainder of the buildings on the site are of 20th century date and represent development from the early part of the 20th century through to the 1960s. A complex of small commercial units known as the South Street Commercial Centre exists in the north-east corner of the site. 75a and 75b South Street front onto the road and formerly housed takeaway restaurant premises. The remainder of the site is occupied by buildings which were predominantly in use as car repair workshops. |
