  • Patcham Conservation Area Appraisal
    Patcham Conservation Area Appraisal Designated: 1970 Extended: 1972, 1992 and 2010 Area: 16.21 Hectares 40.05 Acres Article 4 Direction: Proposed Character Statement adopted: 2010 Introduction Location and Setting The historic village of Patcham is located 5.5 km north of Brighton's seafront. It comprises a historic downland village, set beside the A23 and now on the northern edge of the city. The conservation area stretches along Old London Road between Ladies Mile Road to the south and the Black Lion Hotel, to Patcham Place and Coney Wood to the west and northwest, and along Church Hill to the junction with Vale Avenue to the north. Patcham is located in a wide north-south aligned valley. This topography enabled easy passage inland from Brighton, leading in due course to the formation of the London to Brighton road. This strategic location had a major impact on the development of the village, both in terms of its original formation as a hub for the local agricultural economy, and later in catering for trade along the route. The village originally developed around one of several springs that form the source of the Wellsbourne stream. The stream now runs underground. However prolonged heavy rain can cause the stream to surface and flood the area. This occurred most recently in 2000. Amongst its heritage assets, the area contains 33 listed buildings, 1 locally listed building, a scheduled ancient monument and an archaeological notification area (see Existing Designations Graphic). It was designated as a conservation area in September 1970, and extended in September 1972, September 1992 and December 2010.

  • Alison Kelly, 'Eleanor Coade at Stowe', the Georgian Group Jounal
    Alison Kelly, ‘Eleanor Coade at Stowe’, The Georgian Group Jounal, Vol. II, 1992, pp. 97–100 TEXT © THE AUTHORS 1992 ELEANOR CO ADE AT STOWE Alison Kelly towe is famous as the creation of many of the most eminent English architects, sculptors and garden designers, but one name rarely mentioned is that of Mrs SEleanor Coade.1 And yet Stowe had a range of Coade objects apparendy unrivalled at any other country house, stretching across nearly half a century from the 17 70s to at least 1814. Many of the Coade stone objects left Stowe at the sale of 1921, others have been overlooked thanks to Coade stone’s similarity to natural, fine-grained limestone, while the poor cataloguing of the 250,000 Stowe documents in the Huntington Library, San Marino, means that individual bills cannot be identified.2 Nevertheless, it is possible to give some impression of the range of Coade-stone objects at Stowe. In 1776 George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, later 1st Marquess of Buckingham, wrote to his uncle 2nd Earl Temple: “I have however seen a lion in artificial stone which I think will answer our purpose, and as the mold need not in this instance be destroyed I think we may have the pair for £100, perhaps this may be the cheapest way.”3 In fact the lions only came to £40 but the bill, dated 1778, does not specify the type of lion sent.4 The lions on the north portico, now in front of the school sports pavilion, were definitely Coade stone (Fig. I).

It forms a part of the Local Development Framework (LDF) and is intended to elaborate upon policies in the Development Plan Documents (DPD). This SPD is one of a series produced by Brighton & Hove City Council and it is to be read in conjunction with the DPDs. Each SPD has been subject to a period of formal consultation and approval under the LDF. In preparing this SPD the council has had particular regard to Government policy as set out in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15: Planning and the Historic Environment and the draft policy in the emerging Planning Policy Statement 15: Planning for the Historic Environment. This draft SPD is intended to provide detailed policy guidance on the repair, restoration and enhancement of historic buildings. It was approved by the Cabinet Member Meeting for Environment on 17 December 2009.

  • A Walking Tour of Building Stones from Senate House to Tottenham Court Road
    A Walking Tour of Building Stones from Senate House to Tottenham Court Road London Illustrated News Dr Ruth Siddall UCL Earth Sciences Gower Street London WC1E 6BT r.siddall@ ucl.ac.uk Ruth Siddall, 1 UCL Earth Sciences 2012 A Walking Tour of Building Stones from Senate House to Tottenham Court Road Ruth Siddall This guide is an update of parts of Eric Robinson’s tour, originally published in 1985. Tottenham Court Road has transformed since then, but many of the stones still remain. The Walk Start Point: Senate House, University of London. 1. Senate House Senate House and Library where designed by Charles Holden and built during 1932-37. This is actually a paired-down version of Holden’s original plans which included buildings occupying the land now taken by Birkbeck College, ULU and the piazza behind these buildings, leading from Byng Place. Nevertheless Senate House is a striking building. The major building material is dressed Portland Stone which has retained a good white colour. The lower courses are of axe-dressed Cornish Granite, probably from Carnsew Quarry. The spacious foyer is both paved and clad with Tivoli Travertine. Leave Senate House via the main entrance onto Malet Street, cross over and continue straight ahead along Keppel Street, pausing at the entrance to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine on the corner of Keppel Street and Gower Street. 2. London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Also built primarily of beautifully dressed Portland Stone, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s building is of interest architecturally.

What next? 11 Organisation chart 12 (NB: page numbers are those of the original publication) BUILDINGS AT RISK: TIME FOR ACTION Now that the re-survey of buildings in England is drawing to a close, the attention of local authorities is being drawn to the impact of the increased numbers of protected buildings in their areas. By the end of the year there are likely to be more than 500,000 historic buildings on the list. These can be considered a finite cultural resource – to be cherished, enjoyed and preserved for the future. However, they cannot all be museum pieces and if left unused, they can quickly fall into neglect and decay. About four listed buildings each week are demolished because they have no ‘reasonable beneficial use’, but many more stand idle for want of positive action. They are buildings at risk. Surveys have suggested that of the half million listed buildings, more than 46,000 will already be under threat from redundancy, dilapidation and lack of care. In 1981 Lord Montagu produced a report which set out an approach to the problems of these buildings.

    100 YEARS COMMITMENT TO CRAFTSMANSHIP TERRACOTTA AND FAIENCE Lambs are a specialist manufacturer of hand pressed architectural terracotta and faience. The company manufactures bespoke ceramics to match all architectural periods. Every piece of Lambs terracotta and faience is individually hand formed to a meticulous standard by our highly skilled craftsmen. Our ceramicists are passionate about their profession. They are sculptors and mould makers who can hand press and finish architectural ceramics to the highest standards. Their works are comparable to the craftsmen of James Stiff and Son, Coade Stone and Doulton. The skills of Lambs’ ceramicists have been honed through years of experience yet their foundation is a deep academic understanding of design, manufacture, historical methods and cutting edge techniques. Every item of Lambs terracotta and faience is personally signed; something our ceramicists are simply not prepared to do unless it is perfect. We have purchased computer-controlled kilns to ensure the colour and size consistency of our ceramics. We can produce a range of colour samples for your approval within days. When we are fully satisfied with a piece of terracotta or faience we take the same care delivering it to you as we have creating it. The products Lambs make are a testament to our skill, and their longevity a reflection of our commitment to quality. “When we urgently required replacement architectural terracotta only Lambs were able to help. They surveryed the damaged existing material and delivered high quality replacements on time and on budget.” MARTIN NORTHEY OF COLLINSTOWN CONSTRUCTION Large: Faience detail from the Bluebird Café where Malcolm Campbell built his famous car, showing the legendary Bluebird motif and the floral detail Small left: Pineapple unit from Ipswich Town Hall soon after being drawn from the kiln Small right: Pedestal unit being finished at the Lambs terracotta workshop BRICKS AND ARCHES For Lambs, brick making isn’t merely a business; it is in our blood.
