3.6 The Historic England list description 7 for no. 57 Castle Street (see the extract, below)

states:

List Description Extract for Lamb and Fountain Inn, 57 Castle Street

“The rear is partially obscured by later extensions: a raised ad dition to the back parlour

supported on cast iron columns, timber posts and metal poles, and a C20 toilet block

resting on a base of blockwork. Most of the window openings have been altered,

though there is a three-light ovolo mullion beneath the eaves, and an attic dormer. To

the right, some of the window openings in the C18 range and the gabled cross wing

have been replaced or altered.”

3.7 Whilst this suggests that the historic value of the rear elevation has been harmed by

unsympathetic alterations and additions, it is considered likely that the Council

could resist any development that significantly obstructs views of the building.
