| 説明 | New detailed shots of the old Christopher Wray building.I hope someone saves this and restores it, rather than selling it and having it demolished. It is Grade II listed after all.It is at 7 - 12 Bartholomew Row, which is off Chapel Street.Houses and workshops, now brassware factory. Mid C19 with possiblelate C18 and early C19 remains, and late C19 and early C20 additions.Brick with some painted stone or stucco dressings, and slate roofs.The facade to Bartholomew Row is of 3 storeys above a cellar and 7irregular bays. A straight joint suggests that it is of 2 builds andthe ground-floor brickwork is painted. It has painted surrounds to theopenings and the parapet is rendered. The windows are casements. Thefirst floor windows have a sill band, and lugged architraves withcornices and pulvinated friezes. The second floor windows have plainsurrounds. The left-hand bay on the ground floor contains a blockedwindow opening. The second bay has a doorway with plain reveals anda painted round arch. The third bay contains a wide doorway withtimber lintel. The fourth and seventh bays have doorways which aresimilar to the first floor window surrounds,the left-hand one nowcontaining a window. The fifth and sixth bays have windows with plainreveals and painted lintels. Between them is a door with a paintedsurround with round arch, keystone, and impost blocks. In line withthis doorway there is a ridge chimneystack. The main part of the FoxStreet facade is of painted render and of 2 storeys and 3 bays. On theground floor there are 2 wide entrance doorways with ellipticalarches, with a blocked window between them which has an architrave.The first floor windows have plain surrounds with a sill band, andcasement windows with glazing bars. The central window is tripartite.To the right is the end wall of a late C19 workshop range, of 2storeys under a narrow gable at the left, and of 3 storeys and 2 baysunder a monopitch roof at the right.The main Fox Street building is linked to the rear of numbers 7-10Bartholomew Row by ranges of shopping of 2 and 3 storeys, includinga workshop with a lantern light rising above the roof. The late C19workshop range extends, under a monopitch roof, from Fox Street to therear of numbers 11 and 12 Bartholomew Row.Interior. The former houses facing Bartholomew Row have brick vaultedcellars, a mid C19 staircase, slate or marble fireplaces of mid andlate C19 type, and some brick floors. The interiors of the workshopareas retain many features, including fixed workbenches directly litby ranges of single side-wall windows. At ground floor levels, sunkenwalkways accommodate access to stamping machines. One area, centralto the ground floor workshops retains a two bay vaulted ceilingreminiscent of fire proof construction in C19 textile mills. There isa single cast metal pillar with a decorative capital associated withthis vaulting. An upper room, rectangular on plan was lit by theraised lantern roof; an inserted C20 ceiling now obscures thisfeature.History. Map evidence shows that Bartholomew Row was built up by 1779and Fox Street by 1810. Numbers 7-10 may have late C18 origins, butnumbers 11 and 12 were probably rebuilt in the early 1860's. Theearliest building fronting Fox Street may be William Spurrier'smalthouse of 1800, altered in the late 1870's or early 1880's when thepremises were occupied by a glass tablet maker. The shopping at therear of numbers 7-10 Bartholomew Row was in existence by 1855 and maybe the buildings listed as Spurrier's warehouse and shopping in 1823.The shopping behind numbers 11 and 12 Bartholomew Row was built c1894by Henry Austin Aquila, a ginger beer maker. In 1910 H.B. London andBros., Stampers, moved into 10 Bartholomew Row and by 1928 occupiedthe entire complex. London Bros. were incorporated into ChristopherWray in the early 1980's.Christopher Wray - Heritage GatewayA paste on by AS One of Paste. |
