Abstract: |
The primary objective of the building recording has been to describe and record, by means of high-resolution digital photography and measured drawings, all of the key
internal and external components of the affected building so that a permanent record survives prior to its renovation. This has been completed by means of an Historic England Level 3 building survey. The research and investigation into the building and its setting has included an examination of a number of primary and secondary sources, including information provided on designated historic and archaeological assets, all relevant archaeological reports on works undertaken on the site and in the area, aerial photographic evidence, historic mapping, place name evidence and all relevant sources held in local, regional
and national archives. The property is a grade II listed building (LB 69546) as part of a group listing covering numbers 1-12A Penrose Terrace. The list entry was made in February 1974 and is described as an early-mid C19 stucco terrace of double-fronted houses, stepped up hill. Nos 1 and 2 converted into an hotel annexe of Cliff Hotel. Slate roofs. Included for group value. Nos 1 to 12A (consec) form a group. Main material: stucco, pebbledash, granite, rubble. Covering material: slate
The Level 3 Building Survey of the Former Cliff Hotel has revealed four separate phases of construction, extension and alteration. A contemporary (1878) description of the
town of Penzance suggests the construction of Penrose Terrace was begun in 1834 (Courtney, 1878). This first phase resulted in a pair of late Georgian town houses set at the east end of the terrace (Numbers 1 and 2 Penrose Terrace). |
