2 Lancaster Castle - Phase 2 Design & Access Statement and Heritage Statement

Her Majesty’s Prison Lancaster Castle underwent considerable change over its period of use as a prison between 1788 and 2011. Whilst some of the changes have added to the character of the historic site, others more recently, were detrimental to its character and appearance and to its historic fabric.

Since the closure of HMP Lancaster Castle in 2011, a range of works have been carried out to remove recent low quality buildings and structures, open the castle to the public, and provide a space for cafe and tours. Phase 1 of the major project to repair some of the worst buildings is being implemented in 2016.

These proposals are for the next phase of works, it is our intention to repair and bring back into use the Kitchen Yard, which suffered much intervention in the recent use as a prison.

Visitor’s Hall (viii)

Description

The single-storey Visitors’ Building originated as a cell block, erected in the 1850s in response to demand for additional prisoner accommodation. In the 1950s it was converted to provide accommodation for visitors, which involved the removal of the cells, installation of a modern steel-trussed roof and other alterations. The interior is open plan with a series of interview rooms arranged along the north and west walls. All that remains of the original building is the sandstone ashlar perimeter wall which, apart from attached buttresses, is largely blank and devoid of architectural detail. The building is located awkwardly within the prison yard, concealing the west wall of the Clock Tower Building, and obscuring the King’s Evidence Tower and the Male Felons’ Prison from view.

External Areas The levels of new stone paving in the yards will be carefully considered to provide access into the buildings being brought back into use.

Building Access 7KHUHLVQRXSSHUßRRUSXEOLFDFFRPPRGDWLRQZLWKLQWKLVDSSOLFDWLRQZLWKDOOWKUHHQHZXVHVEHLQJ accommodated at ground level. Proposed paving will allow step free access into the four buildings being brought back into use.

Furniture & Fittings 7KHÞWRXWGHVLJQRIWKHQHZXVHVZLOOWDNHDFFRXQWRIWKHQHHGVRILWVXVHUVWRIDFLOLWDWHDQLQFOXVLYH environment.

Landscaping The design will meet the requirements of the Building Regulations regarding level access and ramp gradients where this is possible and not impeded by the constraints imposed by the existing historic structure and its immediate environment.

Detailed Design will be developed with reference to Approved Document M ‘Access to Buildings other than dwellings’ and Historic England’s guidance ‘Easy Access to Historic Buildings’ which states:

The need to conserve the special characteristics of historic buildings is recognised in Approved Document M. The guidance states that the aim should be to improve accessibility where practically possible, provided that the work does not prejudice the character of the building or increase the risk of long-term deterioration to the building IDEULFRUÞWWLQJV
