Written Descriptions The buildings recorded are accessed from the enclosed courtyard behind 13 High St, St Ives a GII Listed early 19th century townhouse and are considered to represent former occupation for a groom or coachman and possibly a small coach or gig shed. The buildings were likely associated with a range of former stables to the north (not subject to this programme of work) which has had its formerly open frontage blocked in brick and stone. Our research shows that number 13, possibly built in the 18th century as a townhouse, was in use as the ‘Duke of York Inn’. In the early 20th century it was converted into a branch of Lloyds Bank, this business in occupation until the reuse of the building in 2020 as an outdoor clothing supplier.
The buildings recorded appear to have been little used in the 20th century, although one part became an oil store for the Bank, and the buildings may have been used for informal storage purposes. At some point between 2020 and 2020 the first floor of the building was in use as a squat.
The proposed works would deliver the residential re-use of the buildings, and deliver their external renovation, which, it is planned, will restore existing historic window joinery and hung slate.
The programme of work records and interprets the development of the site as belonging to three broad phases. The easternmost part of these buildings are the oldest part, probably originating as the ‘coaching inn stable’ and ‘stableyard’ of the inn / townhouse here in the later 18th and earlier 19th century. During the 19th century these stables were extended, forming the southern range of the current building which provided simple ‘stablehand’s lodgings’ heated by two surviving fireplaces. Fragments of the interiors of this accommodation survives including timber dry-lining made from reused fish crates; traces of late Victorian or Edwardian wallpaper; a hoist hatch (indicating that storage of feeds continued alongside accommodation of the stablehand); and a set of shelves for domestic items or tack. A final phase is described, consisting of 20th century alterations and 21st century graffiti. |
