Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services have been commissioned by Mr Stephen Bailey to undertake a photographic survey of a workshop to the rear of number 58 Wigston Road, Countesthorpe, Leicestershire. Planning permission and listed building consent has been granted for the refurbishment of the building for commercial use, subject to a planning condition as the proposed works will have an impact upon the historic fabric of the building. The recorded building is a Grade II listed former frame knitting factory, dating from the early 19th century with only limited 20th century additions. A straight joint visible in the brickwork suggests that there are two separate building phases, however the bricks themselves are identical, and the two phases are likely, therefore to be of a similar date. There is very little of historic or architectural interest remaining within the building. The windows, although original in appearance are likely to be recent replacements and the roof is modern concrete tiles. A limited view of the roof structure, however, suggests this is likely to be original. The photographic survey provided a permanent visual (photographic) record of the building in its current state. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums Service, under the accession number X.A98.2011. |
