Abstract: |
Archaeological building recording was undertaken at the former New County Hotel, 44 Southgate Street, Gloucester (NGR SO 8304 18456). It was undertaken on behalf of Starcrest UK Ltd, via their agent Nick Joyce Architects LLP, who intend 'demolition of rear elements, internal and external alterations to listed building and conversion of hotel into restaurant use on ground floor with 10 apartments on upper floors' for which a planning application has been submitted and approved. The project aimed to identify the historic nature of the structures on the site and provide a record of the buildings prior to their alteration or demolition. The survey of the New County Hotel, and the following documentary research, showed that the building sits within a double width medieval tenement plot and has medieval cellars that were reused in the 19th century. Historical documents showed that the building had previously been called the Ram Inn and the Ram Hotel as well as other names. The buildings on the site dated to the 18th century but may have been replacements of an earlier inn on the site. Major refurbishments took place a number of times in the 19th century, following the economy of the city, and consisted of extensions to the 18th century buildings, partial rebuilding of structures and the replacement of the Southgate Street frontage. The 20th century saw a large remodelling project, which included the creation of a Deco ballroom with painted wooden panelling. |
