Age Mostly 19 th century Wall Materials Gault brick, render and modern brick Roof Materials Clay pantiles and concrete tiles; No.14 has pyramidal slate roof Windows/Doors Casements – modern timber of PVCu; No.9 has sliding 3/3 sashes Scale 1.5 – 2 storeys Features Cat slide dormers and chimneystacks 10 Key Characteristics 10.1 Scale Generally 2 storeys with more modest properties of 1.5 storeys in the predominantly residential northern end of the town, rising to 2.5 and 3 storeys in parts of the commercial heart of the town along High Street and Red Lion Square. Except for the few larger residential/commercial properties, St Andrew’s Church and the Nonconformist Chapels are the only buildings of a large scale within the Conservation Area. 10.2 Form Typically larger symmetrical 3 bay, 2 storey houses with central doorways, interspersed with smaller cottages of either 2 storeys and 2 bays or, less commonly 1.5 storeys and 2/3 bays. Greater variety is found along the commercial streets where the properties tend to be 37
higher and larger with more complex plan forms, particularly in late 19 th / early 20 th century buildings. 10.3 Wall Materials Predominantly gault brick with occasional use of flint for secondary elevations; walls are frequently rendered or more recently painted. Exceptions are the two former schools on Clay Street that are principally of flint and the small enclave of flint built buildings in the mill area. Older vernacular buildings are timber framed and plastered, often with later narrow yellow brick casing. Red brick is much less common and is generally only used on later 19 th or 20 th century buildings, although it is used for detailing on older buildings, particularly the Nonconformist Chapels. St Andrew’s Church is the sole stone building within the conservation area, although stone detailing is found, particularly on grander 18 th /19 th century properties, throughout. 10.4 Roofing Materials Generally slate sometimes replaced by concrete tiles or artificial slate; these are most common on the 19 th century buildings. Red clay tiles or pantiles tend to be used on older buildings and on Angle Common, although some 19 th century buildings also have them. Thatch only survives on a couple of vernacular buildings and is of combed wheat reed. Modern properties have concrete tiles. Outbuildings tend to have pantiled roofs, except those of the grander properties that have slate to match the main house. 38
