Statement of Interest

B Group with Nos 2-5 Lamb?s Court and Nos 4-8 Wester Close (see separate list entries). Ground floor to Pier Place now a catering outlet, 1st and 2nd floors remain residential. The elevation to Lamb?s Court displays characteristics typical of the Newhaven overhaul by Ian Lindsay & Partners during the 1970s. Note the harled and limewashed walls, red pantiles, standard detailing to the stair and painted cement surrounds to openings. Despite harsh detailing and an element of standardisation, the practice?s work here should be acknowledged as a pioneering attempt to conserve and improve an entire fishing village. Substantial in size and with a clear philosophy, it contrasts with more recent restoration attempts and thus, illustrates the differing and developing attitudes towards conservation. Previously listed as Pier Place 3 and 8 Lamb?s Court Newhaven.
