Abstract: |
In January 2019 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned to undertake a historic building recording in order to discharge a condition of planning permission granted by Ribble Valley Borough Council (planning application number 3/2018/00191) for proposed alterations and extensions to enlarge two existing retail units, subdivision of existing living accommodation and extension to the rear to create four apartments at 3 King Street, Clitheroe, Ribble Valley, Lancashire, BB7 2EL (NGR SD 74315 41910). The historic building recording of 3 King Street, Clitheroe has been conducted to Historic England Level 2 standard. This report outlines and discusses the programme of on-site historic building recording work carried out and includes a descriptive and a photographic survey record. The programme of work has investigated the core buildings of the property and provided information relating to the history of the building and its development. Number 3 King Street is a 19th century town centre property built for a combination
of residential and commercial use. The present built structure on the site housed two
individual shops, living quarters and the remains of a purpose-built Victorian
photographer's studio. Remnants of other Victorian fittings were recorded below
mid-20th and late 20th century alterations. Of particular note were the 19th century
fireplace, staircase, floor tiles and other interior features, as well as features relating
to the photographic and commercial functions of the remaining building. The
structural history of the building was assessed to include the following construction
phases.
◆ Phase 1 – c.1870. Construction of the principal street front building
incorporating a single shop front. To the rear was a single storied service
range with the yard having additional stone outbuildings, likely comprising a
washhouse and earth closet/W.C.
◆ Phase 2 – c.1880. The rear range is altered and extended to incorporate a first
floor photography studio. More of the domestic space is allocated for
business requirements, including a rear reception room (likely a dining room)
becoming a waiting room for the studio and a front room becoming a second
shop.
◆ Phase 3 – c.1930. Hargreaves of Clitheroe photographers occupy the
premises at least until the end of the First World War. After this the premises
was updated, including the front first floor windows and fire places.
◆ Phase 4 – c.1960. More piecemeal alteration continued throughout the mid20th century. This included partition walls to isolate the living quarters from
the shop premises. |
