Abstract: |
As part of proposals to replace the existing window casements in Flat 1, Cavendish House, Cavendish Street, Ulverston, Cumbria, Greenlane Archaeology carried out a heritage assessment for the property, which is Grade II Listed. The origins of Cavendish Street are uncertain, but it evidently formed part of development south of the medieval core of the town, apparently taking place in the 1820s; the earliest reference to Cavendish Street is in 1821. It was certainly constructed by 1825 when it is named in a local directory and it is shown on Wood’s map of Ulverston of 1832. A site visit revealed that the windows to the front are sliding sash casements of two lights while those to the rear are 12-lights. The property evidently originally formed part of a single larger dwelling which was later split into flats, with part of Flat 1 part of the adjoining property to the west. It was clear that none of the window casements are original. The earliest, to the north, are likely to post-date 1830 or 1840, and might have been modified from earlier shop windows, while those to the south are relatively modern, albeit good copies of original types. As a Grade II Listed building the building is statutorily protected and of local significance. However, it has been substantially altered and none of the window casements are original. It is therefore recommended that the casements be replaced in styles matching what is currently there, since the truly original form is now not known, although it can perhaps be inferred from other examples on the street. |
