| 説明 | It was such a nice day, that we headed to Weymouth and Portland. Lucky to have blue skys as well after previous rainy days.A walk around the town centre.Various banks, and pubs to be found here amongst the shops.Frederick Place off St Thomas Street in Weymouth.Grade II listed.Frederick Place (terrace) 1-12, WeymouthWEYMOUTHSY6779SE ST THOMAS STREET873-1/20/368 (West side)12/12/53 Nos.1-12 (Consecutive) FrederickPlace (terrace)GV IITerrace of 12 houses. Finished c1834 (RCHME). Flemish bondyellow brickwork, but Nos 1-5, returned ends and all of backs,rendered, ashlar basement wall, slate roofs.PLAN: RCHME (p.356) gives a plan for No.8, with centraltransverse dogleg staircase, but some units (eg. No.6) have aside staircase to the rear. Several ground floors have beengiven over to shop fronts.EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, attic and basement. There are 9flat-roofed dormers behind the parapet, and each house is 2windows wide; the original layout was with two 9-pane sashesto the second floor, above a 2-storey bowed oriel with8:12:8-pane sashes near-centre, and a blind window to the leftat first floor. This was above the arched doorway in 2recessed orders containing a 6-panel door under a reededtransom and plain fanlight, on 7+1 stone steps with nosings,and spearhead railings returned to the doorway, carried acrossthe frontage, with a gate at the right end giving to tightstone winder stairs to the basement area. A large sash in theplane of the wall was located under the oriel in the basement.Plat bands at first- and second-floor levels, and a mouldedstone cornice, with blocking-course and coped parapet.Alterations to this include: a canted dormer to No.1, with theparapet cut away in front, and a C20 shop frontage, whichreturns to Westham Road. The oriel is at first and secondfloors, rather than ground and first; No.2 has a similaroriel, no glazing bars, a full width C20 dormer, and C20 shopfront; No.3 has a C20 shop front; No.4 has the oriel as Nos 1& 2, glazing bars to the upper half of sashes only, a widedormer with the parapet dropped in front, and a C19 pilastershop front with fascia and cornice, inflected to the orielabove. The glazing has slender mullions, and curved glassends, to a pair of splayed doors under transom lights, under arange of lights with diagonal bars across the whole width,including the recess; No.5 has no glazing bars in the oriel,and a C20 shop front.Nos 1-5 have no railings or steps, and the basement areas havebeen covered. There are shop fronts and no areas also to Nos6, 9 & 12. Nos 9, 10 & 12 have 4-pane sashes with plain sashedoriels.The return to Westham Road has a very broad coped gable withwide central stack concealing a central valley. It is 3windows wide, with a central recessed arched panel containinga blind lunette over a 9-pane sash, and a small canted orielwith plain sash, displaced to the left; each side of this aresashes with 6 panes (probably originally 12-paned), but a2-light casement replacement to the second floor, right. A C20shopfront with piers continues below a C20 extension to right.The return at the left-hand end, adjoining the Masonic Hall(qv) is plain, rising to a high parapet beyond the gablestack. Stacks remain generally to Nos 6-12, but have beencropped or taken away in the first group of 5.The rear of the terrace, facing Great George Street, is muchmore varied, reflecting the piecemeal development behind thestandardised fronts. No.1 has a high double-gable roof, andlater extensions, but Nos 2-5 have a deep mansard rear slope,with dormers at 2 levels, some glazing-bar sashes remainbelow. No.6 has an original small central 6-pane dormer behinda parapet, and above sashes to the left with 9, 12 and 12panes, plus a deep 27-paned stair window to the right; thelower ground floor has a flat-roofed extension.No.7 has 2 similar dormers and parapet, with two 9- above12-paned sashes, then, at the upper ground floor 2 pairs ofFrench doors with margin-panes to a slate-roofed verandah ontrellis supports and balustrade. At lower ground floor is a4-pane sash and a doorway. No.8 has 2 good dormers andparapet, above plain sashes, and appears to have been built asa pair with No.7, but has lost the verandah, and has a largeC20 flat-roofed extension.Nos 9 & 10 are less deep than those on either side, but withthe same parapet height; No.9 has 2 dormers, and No.10 has 1,with sash arrangements as to No.6. Nos 11 & 12 each have asingle 6-pane dormer, with varied lights and extensions below.INTERIOR: not generally inspected, but No.7 has a stickbaluster stair at the rear, left, and there are panelledwindow shutters and reeded cornices.This appears to have been a characteristic example ofspeculative development, with the facade to the terracedetermined, but the completion thereafter subject to differingrequirements. The relatively late development occurred as thiswas previously garden area to Gloucester Lodge (qv); WesthamRoad appears to have been created at the time of thedevelopment. A fine terrace with consistent frontage to StThomas Street, apart from the rendering to the first group andinsertion of some shop fronts.(RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 354; Ricketts E:The Buildings of Old Weymouth: Melcombe Regis and Westham:Weymouth: 1976-: 54).Listing NGR: SY6794879093 |
