| Collection Title | Images from a Historic Building Assessment at 1 New Street and the Synagogue, Penzance, Cornwall, December 2018 |
| Description | This collection comprises images from a historic building assesment at 1 New Street and the former synagogue in Penzance, Cornwall. This worked was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd in December 2018. The building assessment noted that multiple phases of alteration and changes of use have stripped the buildings of their identities and much of their historic fabric. The floor levels have been significantly raised in places, doorways blocked or forced, with most of the windows altered or replaced and the roof levels raised. The proposals are expected to make little changes to the exterior of the building other than repairing and restoring existing features or replacing where not salvageable. The loss of fittings and historic features on the interior has already been so extensive as to make discernment of the functions of the buildings difficult. On balance, the negative effect of the proposals must be set against the benefit of returning a structure currently in a declining condition to good use. In those terms, the impact of the proposals is adjudged to be neutral overall. |
