Abstract: |
A historic building survey of numbers 4 and 10 Northgate Street, Leicester was carried out by ULAS, on behalf of Leicester City Council, in advance of their demolition as part of a wider scheme of urban redevelopment. No. 4 Northgate Street was designed in 1904 by Frank Seale RIBA, of Seale and Riley Architects, Horsefair Street, Leicester and constructed as a bakery and shop premises for Mr. George Lucas. The premises remained in use as a bakery until 1954, before being taken over by Hutchinson and Elson Plumbers. At the time of the survey, the building was occupied by Shepherd's Bathrooms. No. 10 Northgate Street was designed by architects R. J. and J. Goodacre of Friar Lane, Leicester and constructed circa 1897 as The Horse and Jockey Public House. Examination of local trade directories indicate that a pub of that name had stood on the same site since at least 1822, and building register plans show that the present building replaced an earlier structure which was demolished during the 1890s as part of a road widening scheme. Most recently occupied by Eagle Motorcycles, the building was vacant and in a derelict state at the time of survey, with few original internal fixtures or fittings surving. The site archive will be deposited with Leicester City Museums Service under the Accession Number A3. 2010. |
