Warwick houses [74]
All the even-numbered houses in Northgate Street were, until 2014, used as offices by the district council. The houses had all been inter-connected and there was a 1930s office block at the rear. Now they have all been converted back to family homes in what has been described by Alec Clifton-Taylor as “the finest eighteenth century street in the Midlands”.
Number 2 was built in 1696 in red brick and was altered in the late 18th or early 19th century when it was stuccoed. The interior has been modernised although some original features remain. Listed, grade II, with details at: LinkExternal link
A market town and county town of Warwickshire, Warwick lies on the River Avon, 11 miles (18 kilometres) south of Coventry. There is evidence of unbroken habitation from the 6th century AD with signs of Neolithic and Roman activity before that date. It was a Saxon burh in the 9th century and Warwick Castle was built during the Norman Conquest. Much of the town was destroyed in The Great Fire of Warwick in 1694. Warwick Racecourse is located just west of the town centre. The Grand Union Canal passes through the town and the restored Saltisford Canal Arm is close to the town centre.
