Abstract: |
An archaeological building recording was requested by South Lakeland District Council following the submission of a planning application for the conversion of Crown Inn, 45 Market Street, Flookburgh, into four dwellings. The public house is thought to date from the late 17th or early 18th century and a building is shown on the site on a plan of 1685. The building recording revealed that the site developed over five main phases, with the core comprising a double-pile plan property of probable early 18th century date. This was extended in the late 18th or early 19th century with a detached block to the north-west, which most likely acted as a workshop or blacksmith's forge. The original block was then extended to the east in the early 19th century with a large addition over two floors with a basement. Later in the 19th century further small extensions were added, probably for additional storage as the landlords of the inn were also operating as retailers, but also to provide stabling. In the 20th century the building was generally modernised and a new toilet block added to the north. The building has been much altered, but still retains some important features, primarily the mullion windows in the north elevation of the original block and the sliding sash windows of the large extension to the east. |
