CHESTER CITY (IM)

SJ4066SE NORTHGATE STREET AND ROW
595-1/4/308 (East side)

(Formerly Listed as:
NORTHGATE STREET

GV II

Fragments of hypocaust in former Roman praetorium, then
probably site of 2 medieval undercrofts and town houses.
Rebuilt c1913 and now a double shop at street level and a
public house at Row level and above. The expression is similar
to Nos 12 & 14 Street (qv), probably by RW Boden. Timber frame
with plaster panels; slate roof, ridge parallel with street.
EXTERIOR: the modern shopfronts, of no interest, have a rear
passage to north with C18 brick face towards the rear. The Row
front has a recent brick south pier, 5 timber-clad stanchions
and a post through street and Row storeys at the north-west
corner; false framing on north side; a central post rises from
the Row stallboard, set back from the frontage; timber
handrail on ornate mild steel balusters. Mock timber-framed
pub front of no interest. The upper storeys of possibly false
timber framing are in a simpler version of the expression of
Nos 12 & 14 Row (qv). Attenuated jetties at Row bressumer and
beneath eaves; 4 leaded cross-windows to each storey. The
northernmost property on the now shortened Row.
INTERIOR: the shop floor is approx 1m below pavement level,
with no cellar apparent. 10 sandstone hypocaust pillars stand
in situ at the north-east corner of the shop. Other surfaces
in shop and public house are covered, with no features of
special interest visible.
