Port Sunlight Conservation & Management Plan: Survey Notes

: Ref Address Notes 1a. 59-63 Greendale Road Architect - Maurice B Adams Date 1899 Description - Terrace of 5 houses. Ground floor masonry construction in brick work with a heavy band of red sandstone together with red sandstone piers to either side of the end doorways. First floor construction consists of an oversailing / jettied floor, supported on timber posts either side of a central ground floor bay window. First floor construction is in an unpainted render / Harling. The roof is in natural clay tile with 2 end pavilions with gables and decorative tile hanging. 3 central gables form the main elevation. Condition - good. Risks - movement of the timber posts affecting the first floor structure is an inherent design weakness and requires monitoring. The central bay is concave in plan and gives the appearance that part of the building is not level but no apparent movement has occurred. Some missing tiles require replacement. Rainwater goods are original cast iron. Flat roofed porches to Nos: 59/60 and 62/63 require inspection. At the rear of the properties: No. 59 concern about cracks in stonework to garden wall, this requires further investigation. No. 62 and 63 slipped and damaged slates needed to be replaced and wooden window frames need to be repaired and re-decorated. 1b. 52-56 Primrose Hill Architect - Maurice B Adams Date 1899 Description - A multiplicity of materials and styles. Fairfaced brick and stone to the ground floor plinth surmounted by tile hanging to the 2 No. end gables and a prominent half timbered central bay with a further advancing gable above with tile hanging. Together with Dutch style hipped roofs to the end gables gives a distinctive appearance. Brindle clay tiles to the roof together with Brindle scalloped decorative tile hanging to the upper walls. Chimneys in fairfaced brick with corbelled caps. Condition Fair Risks - The stone cills to ground floor windows are of poor quality and de-laminating. These require cutting back and replacing in sound stone. Poor quality re-pointing has been carried out to No. 56. Most guttering is in PVCu with large section downpipes. I suspect originals were 2½ but plastic 3 is the smallest available and looks clumsy. Fortunately an original decorative cast iron hopper has been retained. The half-timbered central gable requires redecoration to woodwork, particularly the upper bargeboards. 2. 5-13 Central Road Architect - W Naseby Adams Date 1907 Description - This is a relatively plain terrace block by Port Sunlight standards, consisting of external masonry rendered walls with no surface ornamentation apart from rendered drip moulds taken above doors and windows. The windows are in double hung sliding sashes in multiple groups with a combination of 4 or 6 panes per sash. The front elevation has two prominent bays with stone copings to the verges. The central house has a dormer roof with first floor dormer window. The 2 No. end houses have Dutch style hipped gables with tile hanging to the upper walls. Roofs are in a clay plain tile. Chimneys are also plain and simple with rendered bases and brick caps. Doors are all painted a sky blue. There is a combination of existing cast iron guttering and later PVCu. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 1 Revision A : August 2007

Condition good Risks - The lack of overhang to the chimney caps results in staining which is unsightly and needs to be brushed off. The bricks also require raking out and re-pointing. PVCu guttering and downpipes should be replaced with cast iron to match original patterns. Missing chimney pots should be replaced either with real pots or dummies. The cheeks to the central dormer window require re-decoration. Some of the entrance doors appear to differ in pattern. The door to No. 9 has a rotten cill. The entrance door to No. 11 appears raised compared to the other units. Trailing wires to the front elevation are also unsightly. 3. 16-34 Central Road Architect - F J Barnish Date 1911 Description Attractively modelled group of 10.no cottages in 2.no blocks; each consisting of a central range of 3.no units with the ends advancing toward the road with hipped gables. Painted render to external walls over a low brick plinth, with tiled lean-to porches over the front doors. Wood casement windows with timber lintels and sills. Roof tiled. Chimney stacks contrasting in brick with clay chimney pots, located prominently to each gable with patterned decoration to each stack. Condition - Fair to good Risks - Render in generally good condition. No.34 and No.32 windows need repair and redecorating, there is some sign of cracking, and slipped tiles replacing. Nos.26-28 require repair to doors and windows. No.26 requires new flashing to the porch roof. Many aerials and loose wires down the front of the building look unsightly. Satellite dishes & old aerials, together with alarm boxes look unsightly. Rear of properties - Some slipped tiles require repair. Nos. 18-22 & 26-34 have PVCu windows to the ground floor level and No. 34 has a PVCu conservatory. Windows to the first floor need some repair work and redecoration. No.24 timber windows in poor condition, and need renovation / redecoration. Aerials, trailing wires and burglar alarms are unsightly. 4. 158-168 New Chester Road Architect - H Beswick Date - 1899 Description Linear terrace of 6.no cottages. The central pair of 162 & 164 are slightly set back. All cottages have feature gables with oversailing verges facing the road; together with first floor bay windows on decorative timber brackets. The end pair of cottages each have a buff terracotta frieze at first floor level adding decoration and further modelling the elevation. Fairfaced brick to the ground floor level with red sandstone surrounds to doors & windows. Pebbledash render to the first floors with timber casement window surrounds with decorative brackets; even to the small gable windows to the end elevations. The gables have a tiled band to the base and over each bay, with a painted stucco upper panel with decorative plaster motif. The central cottages have smaller dormer gables while the end pairs have full width gables with internal valleys. The main roof is in plain clay tiles with elaborately detailed chimneys with brick vertical ribs and brick corbelled caps. Condition Fair to good. Risks - General decoration is required to all the windows. Some repair/ pointing work is required to the stone surrounds on the windows and the doors. There are some broken tiles on the roof which need to be replaced Some re-pointing work needed to the brick chimney stacks. Removal of vegetation from the valleys on the roof is necessary. At the rear of the property Some brickwork needs to be raked out and re-pointed. Windows need re-decoration especially to the cills. Lean-to greenhouse at the back of property No. 166. Roof is in generally good condition. Raking out of vegetation from the chimney stacks is needed. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 2 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

5. 36-44 Central Road Architect - H Blomfield Bare Date - 1906 Description Imposing block of 5.no cottages with a central range flanked by advancing wings with pointed gables at rightangles to the main roof. Steep pitches of 60 deg. The oversailing first floor over small rectangular bays with heavy stone side brackets make a dramatic statement. Brick to the ground floor walls with brick corbelled string course and plain pebbledash above. Dramatic end elevations with twin chimneys in pebbledash with upper gablet roofs to support each stack, and upper brick cap and slight dentil course. Dramatic red sandstone brackets to each end gable. Side porches in pebbledash with brick dressings to entrance doors. All windows to first floor are shallow bays supported on timber brackets with timber lintels and sills. The roof is unusually in a red clay roman pantile. All doors have an arched fanlight. Condition Good. Risks - No.44 repointing work needs to be carried out on the brickwork. The bay window to the front of the property needs to be replaced. All windows on the property need to be repaired and redecorated. No.38-42 all have different window styles in the front door. Brick surrounds to property No.40 of the windows and the doors, and at the lower level may need repointing. No.36 is in reasonably good condition but may require some redecoration work to the windows. General note for the whole block - cleaning work needs to be carried out to the bricks, peddle dash and tiled roof. Slipped slates to the roof need to be replaced. Vegetation needs to be removed from the chimney stacks and aerials and loose wires look unsightly. Recommend that concrete paths leading to the property are to be replaced with a more suitable material. Rear of property - No.36, first floor windows need some repair work. Fascia boards to No.34 need to be looked at as they appear in very poor condition with possible decay, to be replaced. Satellite dish to the back of the property is unsightly. No.38 has PVCu window at the back of the property and has had major repatching works to the render at the back. This looks obvious and may need some repair work. No.40 needs some repair work to the ground and first floor windows and redecoration and also obvious repair works to the render at the back. No.42 will need repair works to the ground and first floor windows and redecoration. No.44 will need some repair works and redecoration but is in generally good condition. The back of No.42 has the Satellite dish on the back of the property which is obvious. All properties along this row have very obvious aerials which are unsightly and chimney stacks on the property have much vegetation which will need to be removed. 6. 2-14 Central Road and 11-21 Primrose Hill Architect - H Beswick Date 1899 Description - Heavily articulated entrance elevation in fairfaced brick with buff terracotta stringcourse and dressings to the ground floor windows and doors. Brickwork is largely in a soft Cheshire red but with a glue Staffordshire brick to the lower walls. Chimneys are in fairfaced red brick with occasional motives in buff terracotta. These are squared off without corbelled caps and appear strangely clumsy. Verges are in terracotta copings. Roofs are in green Westmorland slate. Gutters are in a custom made square box profile with a distinctive corbelled soffit to the central elevations. I suspect this distinctive profile is the reason why so much of the guttering survives since it cannot be replicated by plastic. The corner elevation is set back from the road junction giving space for a decorative bed. This elevation has half timbering to the first floor gable. Many doors have flat roofs to porches with rolled lead. Condition good Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 3 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - Many of the chimneys have growths to mortar joints which require raking out and re-pointing. Many chimneys have missing pots. The usual disarray of TV aerials and loose cables detract from the appearance. The hip detail to many of the gables has hidden lead soakers without the use of hip tiles. In places these appear to have been pointed up with mortar, presumably as an attempt to waterproof them. These should be investigated. A number of slates have been replaced particularly to No. 6 and these appear to be in blue grey Welsh slate rather than Westmorland green. The chimney to No. 8 central road has been re-pointed but this has been done very clumsily and appears to be a cement mortar rather than in hydraulic lime. Several of the chimneys have spalled brickwork which may result from the poor detailing to the caps. I suspect that the terracotta caps have no dpc detail and that the stacks are becoming saturated which accounts for the excessive plant growth. The rear elevation is in a strangely plain and conventional northern terrace vernacular. Walls are fairfaced brick with a single stringcourse above doors and ground floor windows. First floor windows are in double hung sliding sash. The rears have no yards or gardens and back doors open directly onto an open court. 7. 1-3 Central Road and 1-9 Primrose Hill Architect - C E Deacon and Horsburgh Date 1907 Description - This is the only building by these Architects in Port Sunlight Village but it has a similar appearance with the works of William Owen. External walls are in a combination of fairfaced brick (around entrance doors) and rendered surfaces. The render is used to highlight the bay windows and gables. Particularly distinctive is the way the gables step around the corner of Primrose Hill with Central Road giving an unusual and unconventional juxtaposition of walls and angles. Timber posts and lintels are also used to frame some of the entrance doors, particularly to Nos 1 and 3 Central Road. Roofs are in red clay plain tile, gutters are in a deep section half round cast iron with cast iron downpipes. Dormer windows have flat roofs in rolled leadwork. Chimneys have a rendered base with fairfaced brick caps and distinctive beehive chimney pots which are delightful. The chimney to No. 3 Central Road retains most of its complement of original pots bar one. Condition good Risks - Some PVCu has crept in, particularly to the porch of No. 3 Central Road. The timber posts to this porch are also badly fissured and require strapping. However, the doors to Nos 1 and 3 Central Road survive while the doors to the Primrose Hill elevation have been changed for a disappointing reproduction six panel door. I doubt if these are original and suspect that the pattern used on Nos 1 to 3 Central Road would have continued onto the Primrose Hill elevation. The chimney stack to No. 1 Primrose Hill has been re-pointed, but done very poorly in what appears to be a cement based mortar. Cast iron has been used to the porch of No. 1 Primrose Hill but remains unpainted. The lower gutter to No. 3 Primrose Hill is broken and requires repair. All the original guttering is in a distinctive duck egg blue and the doors are red umber. I suspect this colour scheme is original and has been retained by the various owners. Where original colours can be detected within the design the references should be noted and owners advised so that re-decoration can follow the original colour scheme. Rear elevation - Some of the decorative features have been taken around to the rear which is most pleasing. External walls are in a pebbledash render. Windows are timber casements which largely survive though some ground floor windows have been replaced in modern patterns. This applies to the rear of No. 5 Primrose Hill and No. 1 Central Road. Most rear gutters and soil pipes are in original cast iron and again painted duck egg blue. First floor windows have a distinctive flat roof profile taken above the plain of the roof to the Primrose Hill elevation only. To the rear there are small yards with red brick walls. 8a. 10-16 Boundary Road See notes under 8e 128-132 New Chester Road which forms part of the corner block with Boundary Road. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 4 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

8b. 3-11 Boundary Road (rebuilt 1947). Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date 1899 Description - 5 courses of brickwork to the ground floor with render to the ground and first floor. Protruding bays in timber frames and panels with timber surrounds to the windows and doors. Windows are metal casement windows and there is an interesting detail of a porch which extends between the protruding bays supported on timber brackets with clay tiles. The roof is in clay tiles with interesting brick chimneys. Condition Fair Risks - General upkeep of the timber brackets supporting the porch and the timber frame system of the protruding bays. Unsightly alarm boxes, trailing wires and aerials to the fronts of the properties which need to be better fixed and/or removed and placed in a better location. Porch to property No. 3 is in timber with lead flashing, the flashing is in poor condition and needs to be replaced and redecorated. Rear Elevation - Properties generally in good condition but have many additional fixtures of alarm boxes, security lights and wires to the backs of the properties which look unsightly. Conservatory to the back of No. 9 is an additional feature. There is some raking out of vegetation on the chimneys required. 8c. 1-9 Bridge Street Architects - Douglas and Fordham Date - 1894. Description - terrace of 4 houses with masonry ground and first floors. Nos. 3 and 9 have distinctive facetted corner bays with turret roofs. Intermediate terraces have decorative Dutch style brick gables with copings and window dressings in buff terracotta. An extended porch above ground floor level runs the full length of the terrace allowing protection to the entrance doors and covering 2 intermediate bays. The roof is also in plain clay tiles with gable finished in vertical tile hanging. The gables and walls to the end bays are finished in a diamond pattern brick with overburnt headers. Rear elevation consists of fairfaced brickwork with intermediate string course. Ground floor window openings have arched brick lintels with stone sills. Main roof in plain tiles with rear off shoots. Condition Fair to good Risks - several slipped / missing tiles to the main and porch roofs. Damaged terracotta vertical string courses to the end chimneys. Damaged / decaying terracotta copings to heads of decorative Dutch gables above Nos. 5 and 7 Bridge Street. Cast iron rainwater goods require decoration. Several metal casement windows require decoration. Risks at the rear elevation: Cast iron rainwater goods require painting. Rear yard wall requires repointing and stone inset piece to 7 Bridge Street requires replacement. Note - access roadway to central courtyard has stone sets under a bitumen topping. The topping should be cut back to allow the stone sets and margin to be restored. 8d. 7-15 Corniche Road Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date 1898 Description 5.no cottages juxtaposed at rightangles to one another and stepped around the corner in a saw-tooth profile. This creates an interesting and pleasingly picturesque composition without the large positive statement of most buildings set on a prominent corner site. Ground floor in fairfaced brickwork with corbelled brick stringcourses under the first floor in painted render. Attractive shallow square bay windows to each gable with rendered/ painted mid-panel and squat timber brackets. Nos. 7-9 & 15 have a low hipped tile roof below a pitched gable forming the roofs to the bay windows. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 5 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Nos 11 & 13 have plain flush gables with more modest barge boards. Roofs in red clay plain tiles with well modelled brick chimneystacks with corbelled caps and vertical recessed panels to the shafts, faintly classical. Some chimneypots have been added to these high stacks but I suspect they were not originally needed such is the height of the chimneys. The lintels of the doors are in sandstone and are interestingly detailed. Window surrounds to the ground are in brick and to the first floor in timber. Condition Fair to poor Risks Some repointing of the brickwork to the ground floor level and repair work to the render at first floor level needed. Repair and redecoration work to the windows, especially those of the first floor level. Repair of slipped tiles to the roof. Cleaning off moss from the roof. Special attention needs to be paid to the dormer windows of properties 7 and 9. These need repair and redecoration work. Large ivy growth to nos. 11 & 13 should be contained. Unfortunate aerials particularly to the chimney of no.13. Paths leading to the properties are in concrete and are unsightly. Rear of the Property - Raking out and repointing of the brickwork to the ground floor level and to the chimneystacks. Cleaning of the roof and redecoration of the render work to the first floor level is required. Repair work to nearly all the windows at ground and first floor level is necessary. The outhouses and back garden wall of the property need to be raked out and repointed and repair works to the roofs need to be carried out. These are in poor condition. Raking out of the chimneystacks to remove ferns and other vegetation is also necessary. 8e. 128-132 New Chester Road With 8a 10-16 Boundary Road Architect Douglas and Fordham Date 1899 (built date) Description Corner development of 7.no cottages (with 8a 10-16 Boundary Road. Property in fairfaced brickwork with diaper detailing to the first floor and rendered panels as a decorative band at mid height. Window surrounds to the ground floor level are in brickwork brick mullions and arched brick heads to doors and windows. A very attractive detail. Surrounds to the first floor windows are in timber. Details on the downpipe and the hoppers display the date mark 1897. Red clay tiles to the roof with the chimney stacks in red facing brick with brick corbelled caps. Nos. 12 & 14 Boundary Road have a hipped roof which has resulted in 2.no internal valley gutters with nos 10 & 14. This is a poor detail to maintain. Nos. 128-132 New Chester Road also have ridges at rightangles resulting in long internal valleys. Rendered gable panels. Condition - Fair. (16 poor) Risks - No. 132 and 130: Re-decoration is required to the first floor level windows. Raking out and repointing of the brickwork on all houses is required but especially No. 126. No. 16 Boundary Road: Requires major repair work to the first floor window and to all ground floor windows. These appear to be rotten and are in urgent need of repair. All guttering needs painting. Note the sky blue colour which may be original and matches the gable barge boards. Properties nos. 10-14 need redecoration work to the first floor level windows to prevent any further damage. The roof tiles need cleaning of vegetation and general cleaning, and the chimney stacks need raking out and repointing. Aerials to the chimney stacks, alarm boxes and trailing wires down the front of the properties look unsightly and need to be removed or better hidden. At the rear of the property brickwork requires some raking out and re-pointing. Windows in fair condition, majority need to be re-painted and re-decorated to prevent decay. No 126: PVCu windows to the ground and first floor. There are some slipped slates on the roof which need to be replaced. satellite dishes to the backs of the properties may be required to be removed. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 6 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

8f. 244-248 New Chester Road Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date 1898 Description Attractive terrace of 3.no cottages. Ground floor in fairfaced brickwork with stone ogee stringcourse (or is it terracotta?) below pebbledash panels to upper walls. Roof in clay plain tiles. Chimneystacks in brickwork with stepped and fluted shafts and stone ogee caps. Door surrounds in sandstone and windows with timber surrounds. Windows of the first floor are small protruding bay windows with decorative timber brackets. Most cast iron rainwater goods still intact but poor condition. Vertical tile hanging to end gable panels. Condition Fair to poor Risks Some brickwork at ground floor level needs to be repointed, especially on 248. Windows at the ground floor and first floor levels need to be repaired and redecorated. Moss to roof needs to be brushed off. Trailing wires down the fronts of properties, aerials and alarm boxes need to be better positioned. Front doors need to be redecorated. All guttering needs painting. Rear of the property - Some raking out and repointing in patches is required of the brickwork. Redecoration to windows needed at the first floor level, especially on properties 246 and 248. Some replacing of slipped tiles on the roof is needed and re-pointing works to the brick chimneystacks. A very poor quality lean-to is at the back of property 248. Back garden wall and outbuildings need to be repointed. 8g. 284-286 New Chester Road Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date 1898 Description Semi-detached houses. Fairfaced brickwork to the lower walls with pebbledash render to upper walls with protruding bays on the ground floor level and part dormer windows above. Notable decorative plaster panels to dormer gables above the first floor windows. Roof in clay tiles with brick chimney stacks and ogee stone caps. Front walls have mini-buttresses in brick with stepped headers. Cast iron guttering & downpipes. Rear elevation has interesting mini dormer windows with 3.no 4- pane casement sashes and lead roofs with central roll. Condition Fair to poor (No. 286 poor) Risks Some brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. Brick chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed. Some moss to be brushed off. 286 is on very poor condition and needs urgent attention to almost every aspect. Bay windows and first floor windows are in very poor condition, these need to be repaired and redecorated urgently. Guttering in poor condition to 286 and also needs urgent attention. 284 in fair condition but needs redecoration generally. Satellite dish to front of no. 284. Rear Elevation - Some re-pointing of brickwork to lower walls and to chimneys. Repair and redecoration work to the small dormer windows in the roof is needed especially to no. 286. There are also PVCu windows to the back of no. 286 and to the ground floor of property No. 284. Usual aerials & trailing wires. Chimney stacks to no. 286 appear to have lost their stone ogee caps and the clay pots. Unsightly rear stack with gas flue. 8h. 294-296 New Chester Road Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date 1898 Description Semi-detached cottages similar in design and form to no. 8g but with differing materials. Cheshire red facing brick with stone dressings to lower walls with stained cedar shingles to upper walls. Red clay tile roofing with fairfaced brick chimneys with stone caps. Faintly classical detailing to dormer gables. Cast iron guttering. Timber mullioned casement windows with leaded lights. First floor is jettied/ cantilevered above the ground floor and roofs the lower bay windows. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 7 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

This is supported by a timber bracket to the corners. Condition Good to 294. Fair to 296. Risk Front Elevation: Jettied front elevation supported on corner timber brackets & cantilevered floor structure requires regular inspection to prevent decay & structural failure. Some movement to the bay in no. 294 suspected requiring structural investigation. Exposed brick buttresses require good pointing. 296 front bays require decoration. Rear Elevation - Brickwork to the property requires some raking out and patch pointing only. Brick chimney stacks require cleaning, raking out and repointing. No. 296 has PVCu windows to the rear ground and first floors. The small dormer window in the roof is in very poor condition and needs to be repaired urgently. Trailing wires and sky dishes and unsightly aerials at the back of the property need to be better hidden. It is difficult to see rear of No. 294, but it appears to be in good condition. 8i. 19-23 Park Road. Note no.23 is Bridge Cottage which was once occupied by Lever Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date - 1894 Description Terrace of 3.no larger cottages but no. 23 differs in elevational treatment & style and is to be considered separately from Nos. 19 and 21. These are beautifully detailed double fronted houses in a Cheshire half timbered style with recessed brick & stone lower walls surmounted by an oversailing timber frame superstructure to the first floor with jettied gables, prominent ornate barge boards and flat segmental bay windows in leaded lights. 4.no stone bay window structures help to support the upper superstructure and frame the 2.no entrance doors in red sandstone with semicircular heads. Roof in clay plain tiles with very decorative and large fluted & twisted chimneys. No. 23 is largely finished in knapped flint over a brick plinth. Prominent stone arched entrance proclaims the added importance of this dwelling and the status of its occupant. The canted double height bay with shaped gable to the corner also makes for a prominent composition; coupled with the inglenook chimney, its gablet roof and nestled ground floor bay. This cottage was special from the very beginning. All windows have red sandstone surrounds. Roofs in clay plain tile with numerous decorative barley twist and fluted neo-tudor chimneys. Condition - Fair Risks - Repointing to brickwork required. Repairs to leaded lights needed. Timber frame is cracking and there appears to have been attempts at repair work. This frame will require regular inspections to prevent serious decay. Panelling in poor condition generally, lots of patching with much peeling. Paintwork to windows & rainwater goods generally needs repair and redecoration. Flashings to roofing need attention. The roof has a few slipped slates which need replacing. Vegetation on some chimneys needs to be raked out. Some of the bricks on the chimneys are crumbling and require replacing. Aerials on the roof and trailing wires need to be better fixed. Paths are in concrete and look unsightly. Nos. 19 & 21 have PVCu windows to rear. 8j. 26 Park Road See also 8c 1-6 Bridge Street Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date - 1895. Description (This forms part of a pair of dwellings consisting of 26 Park Road and 1 Bridge Street.) Both properties have a base storey in fairfaced masonry brickwork with terracotta tracery to window heads and reveals with decorative stone dressings to doors. The first floor consists of half timbered walling with cantilevered first floor bays beneath an oversailing stepped gable. The quality of decorative carving to the gables and corner posts is particularly fine. Chimneys are finished in Tudor style decorative brickwork and the chimney to 26 Park Road is particularly fine. Roofs are in plain clay tile with cast iron rainwater goods. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 8 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Condition - good. Risks - slight damage to terracotta sill to side window on 26 Park Road. Moss growth to clay tiles and clearing out / maintenance to internal valley gutter between properties. Dislodged / missing clay tiles to rear off shoot to 26 Park Road. Timber cracks and open grain to timbers. 8k. 17-23 Wood Street Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date - 1894 Description Terrace of 4.no cottages in fairfaced masonry brickwork to the ground floors with oversailing first floor supported on a decorative jettied beam, in turn supported by classical timber columns with a crude Ionic order. First floor materials consist of a rendered panel with brick dressing and 4.no decorative bays to the front elevation, with pargetted gable panels. Again, these are jettied out beyond the first floor and have 4.no shallow bays on timber brackets. Roofing is in clay plain tiles. Chimneys are fairfaced brick with a brick cornice and beehive tops. Condition - Good Risks - between each bay there are lead lined hoppers with cast iron outlets. Note the date is given on the hoppers as 1892 and not 1894 as archived. The hopper between No.17 and No.19 appears to be blocked and overflowing. Several missing / slipped tiles require attention. Chimneys require raking out and repointing with removal of plant growth. Usual disarray of TV aerials and loose cables. Timber posts to the jettied upper floor require regular inspections to prevent decay. Rear elevation is similar to the front but with 2 gables with rendered panels. Tiled valleys require clearing out generally, particularly to No.17 and No.23. Cast iron downpipe to No.23 to north gable requires repair & redecoration. Outhouse roofs require repair. 8l. 49-55 Wood Street Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date - 1895 Description - Terrace of 4 houses. 2 storey terraced houses with fairfaced brickwork to ground and first floor. Intermediate string course together with 4 No. first floor expressed bay windows with decorative gables. All windows have decorative brick dressings and arched heads. Entrance doors have brick jambs with 4 centred arches. Bays have diamond brick decoration with overburnt headers. Intermediate bays have decorative diaper brickwork infilled with flint panels. The gables also have infilled flint panels. Condition - good. 8 The Lyceum Architect - Douglas and Fordham Date 1896 Risks - hedge to the front of No.55 is overlarge and requires cutting back to match that of No.49. Roofs in plain clay tile have several slipped tiles requiring refitting / replacement. Brick chimneys require raking out with removal of plant growth and repointing generally. Note the Rowan tree to the chimney of No.55 is especially large!! This building was originally the Village School and was also used for church services before the construction of Christ Church in 1904. Early in its life became firstly a training centre, a Cinema and latterly the Port Sunlight Social Club. Part of the complex is also used by the Unilever Archives. The building was extended in 1898 and the separate block to the North side was added c1920. The building has a complex massing, culminating in an octagonal tower and spire to the south-east corner adjacent to the bridge over The Dell. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 9 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

The spire, in Westmorland green slate, forms a distinctive focal point and landmark within this corner of the Village. The plan of the building is of 2.no parallel halls with external decorative gables in a Queen Anne/ Dutch style with stone dressings and decorative brick panels with diaper patterns from over-burnt headers. Around the base of the building there is a red sandstone plinth which is also used for string courses and decorative surrounds to the windows. The same stone has been used to construct the bridge over The Dell. There are access difficulties into the building, particularly to the main entrance under the tower. A temporary ramp has been constructed here. The decorative entrance stonework is eroding. Original cast iron rainwater goods generally survive, but in poor condition and require urgent maintenance and redecoration. At least one of the heads on the east elevation over The Dell is blocked. A number of the existing leaded lights are broken, presumably from vandal attack. The building has a varied roof form with many internal valley gutters. These should be inspected regularly for blockages and particularly during the autumn leaf fall. The building has extensive mature trees close to the north & east elevations. These should be monitored for any signs of damage to the listed structure. The north elevation has some areas of low level brickwork beginning to spall. These require cutting out and replacing and any cement pointing removed and replaced in softer lime mortar. Otherwise the building is generally in fair condition, apart from the previous issues noted to the rainwater goods and leaded light windows. The sandstone plinth and areas of sandstone walling, particularly to the north elevation have attractive tooling, which should be replicated. This is a wide chisel mark and is not to be confused with the finer combed stonework used around the door and window openings. Several decorative Tudor/ Jacobean style spiral chimneys exist to the west elevation overlooking the bowling green. These are in good condition, but should be inspected regularly for signs of spalling. The existing windows have metal ventilators set into stone mullions. Many of these require decoration. 9a. 71-75 Bolton Road with 9b 268 274 New Chester Road Architect - Douglas and Minshull Date 1898 Description Terrace of 3.no cottages to the main road with 4.no cottages stepped around the corner at rightangles (similar in composition to 8d). Jettied first floors to no. 268 274 with the latter having a lower bay window. Fairfaced brickwork to the ground floor level with painted render to the first floor level and vertically hung tiles to the gable ends with bands of decorative tile. Some gables have a gambrel roof (the low pitched tiled roof below the upper vertical gable often used to cover bay windows). Plain clay tiles to the roofs. Windows surrounds in a combination of brick and timber. Lintels to the door in sandstone. Chimneystacks in brickwork of varying design with decorative diaper work in extruded brick. Interesting gable to no. 73 Bolton Road with oversailing first floor supported on segmented bay and timber corner post. Attractive original cast iron balloon hoppers to rainwater goods. Original SVP ogee cap to rear stack of no.75. Condition Fair Risks - Some repointing of the brickwork at the ground floor level and repair and decoration work to the windows, especially those of the first floor level. Replacing of slipped tiles and redecoration work to the render at the first floor level. Raking out of vegetation from the chimney stacks, which is becoming serious in some areas. Brushing off moss to the roof tiles and the gable ends is also required. Regular inspections required to no.73 structural post & similar structural timber brackets to 268-272. Repair needed to hipped gambrel roof on no.71. Rear - There have been some alterations to No. 270 & 272 rear chimney which has been reduced. Some slipped tiles need to be replaced. Raking out of vegetation from the brick chimneystacks is needed. Repair and redecoration work is required to most rear windows. Nos. 270-274 all have conservatories at the rears which will make access to the first floor areas difficult. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 10 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

9b. 268-274 Chester Road See 9A Back garden walls need to be raked out and repointed. Usual disarray of aerials & cabling to be better fixed. Aerial to no.75 has fallen. 9c. 6-14 Primrose Hill Architect - Douglas and Minshull Date 1899 Description - Masonry brick built terrace of 5 No. cottages with the end units expressed with advancing bays and 3 No. intermediate bay windows to the central elevation. First floor bays are absorbed within a deep roof overhang with intermediate brackets supporting the fascia and guttering. Entrance doors also have a full width porch. Ground and first floors are in fairfaced brickwork with pebbledash panels to the end bays and between the panels of the intermediate bay windows. Guttering to the end bays is in cast iron but in poor condition. Intermediate guttering has been replaced in PVCu. Timber casement windows are original, together with leaded lights and a heart motif. This has not stopped a ventilator through the window of No. 14. Condition of timber windows and decoration is poor. Chimneys are in fairfaced brickwork with decorative mouldings to the caps. New and obsolete TV aerials and loose cabling are obtrusive. Condition Fair Risks - Deteriorating joinery, particularly to window cills. Damaged cast iron guttering to No. 14 and PVCu guttering diminishing quality. TV aerials and loose cabling as mentioned. 9d. 55-67 Pool Bank. Architect - Douglas and Minshull Date 1899 Description - Brickwork to the ground floor. Doors and windows with sandstone surround. First floor in pebbledash render with timber surrounds to the windows. Clay tiled roof with large brick chimney stacks and clay chimney pots. Interesting stepped detail to the top of the chimney stacks. Protruding bays at either end of the properties with twin doors with double porch covering both properties. Unusual buttressing detail to the centre of the property. Condition good Risks Some slipped tiles to the roof. Vegetation and moss growing on the roof will need to be removed. Unsightly aerial especially to no. 57 with trailing wires down the front of the property. These will need to be better hidden. 4.no alarm boxes to the fronts of the property look unsightly. 10. 15-27 Central Road Architect - Garnett, Wright and Barnish Date 1907 Description This is the only building by this Architect in Port Sunlight Village and one wonders why, since the design has much to commend it. A distinctive block consisting of a central range of 3 No. houses framed with advancing wings to either side with 2 No. houses in each. However, the apparent symmetry of plan has been disturbed by idiosyncrasies particularly the decorative Tudor chimneys and first floor timber clad bay to No. 19. Elsewhere the elevations are a more usual cottage vernacular of fairfaced brickwork with decorative brick dressings to windows and stone lintols to doors. Render to the first floor above Nos. 21 and 23, together with Queen Anne style gables to the first floor dormer windows. Chimneys are in fairfaced brick with heavily corbelled caps. The chimneys to Nos 21 and 23 have a distinctive pointed edge to the front elevation. Some corners have an inclined buttress while others do not. The whole appearance is contrived but pleasing. Rainwater goods are in original cast iron and appear in good condition. Condition good Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 11 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - Several of the chimneys particularly to Nos 19, 21 and 23, have excessive plant growth to the brick caps. These should be raked out and re-pointed in lime mortar. The entrance door to No. 17 appears rotten at the base. Repairs may also be required to the entrance doors to Nos 23 and 25. Re-decoration is required to most entrance doors. The windows largely consist of metal framed casements set within the brick dressed openings. Central windows are in timber casements to first floor only and require re-decoration. One downpipe is in PVCu adjacent to the door of No. 23. Strangely the gutter is still cast iron. The corbelled profiles to the chimneys has resulted in a number of strange angles to TV aerials, all of which are unsightly. Cables are loose and require clipping, particularly to No. 19. 11a. 25-29 Greendale Road Architect - Ernest, George and Yates Date - 1901 Description - Terrace of 5 houses. Central block of 3 houses set forward with the end houses recessed. Ground floor in fairfaced brickwork with timber cornice detail and harling render above. Clay plain tile roofing with several internal valleys taken into an ogee gutter. Condition - good Risks - PVCu guttering and downpipes dilutes significance. Internal valleys to front elevation require regular maintenance. Tiled tops to chimneys require raking out and repointing to remove growths. Loose flashing to chimney of No.26. Rear - PVCu conservatory to the back of Nos. 25 & 29. No. 26 and 30 PVCu windows to ground floor. Property No.31 is not visible due to hedge at the back of garden. 11b. 33-39 Greendale Road Architect - Ernest, George and Yates Date - 1901 Description - Terrace of 7 houses. External elevations in rendered masonry above a brick plinth with recessed central bay articulated by bay windows together with decorative timber brackets to eaves. End bay to 33 and 34 have an internal valley with cast iron hopper dated 1900. Roofs in clay plain tile, of more recent date. Combination of cast iron and PVCu rainwater goods. Condition - good Risks - internal valley between 33 and 34 requires regular maintenance. Render to gable of 39 requires redecoration and windows require repair / redecoration. Front door to No.36 differs from existing patterns. Door to No.37 may differ but needs to be confirmed. Door to No.39 differs from existing patterns. Chimney stacks generally require repointing. Rear - No.34 and 36, have a wooden shed at the back of the house. No. 36 and 39 have PVCu windows. No. 37 has back door and windows which are not in keeping with the original design. General condition of the back of the block is good and well kept. 11c. 178-190 New Chester Road Architect - Ernest, George and Yates Date 1901 Description - Whitewashed render to external walls with red tiles roofs including lower bays. Faintly classical detailing with dentil course to upper walls together with profiled eaves and ogee cast iron gutter. Timber windows with leaded lights. Brick chimneys with classical detailing & corbelled cap. Recently re-roofed. Condition Fair Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 12 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks Despite recent re-roofing no repairs or redecoration have been done to rainwater goods. Many are staining with rust. Joinery repairs and redecoration required to windows generally. At the rear of the property - Render to the back of the property in generally good condition. Roof in good condition. Back garden wall requires repointing. Outbuilding needs repointing & replacement tiles on the roof. 12 The Old Post Office 88 Greendale Road Date - 1891 Description - brick plinth with ground and first floors in timber frame. Both corner gables are in a bold bracketed Cheshire timber frame style. Roofs in red plan clay tile. Condition - Fair. Risks - condition of timber frame and particularly the first floor dragon beam and brackets give concern. Open joints require filling/packing and re-decoration. Decoration to in-fill panels and windows needed. 12a. 1 Bath Street See also 12d 20 Bolton Road & 12p 1-9 Cross Street Date - 1896 Description - Despite the three different addresses this is all one terrace, with 2 no. returns to Bath Street and Bolton Road. The main elevation faces Cross Street to the south. Elevations are highly decorative with a stone plinth course with plain facing brick above, together with stone lintels and sills to windows and stone quoins to jambs around the doors. Decorative string course in brick and first floor treatment in polychromatic brickwork together with highly decorative terracotta gables above 6 first floor windows to Cross Street and a further 2 windows to each elevation onto Bath Street and Bolton Road. The terracotta detailing is quite exceptional, and almost too decorative with a density of tracery worthy of a cathedral. Roofs are in clay plain tile, with tiled valleys. Guttering consists of terracotta formed gutters and cornice sections with lead lining and square cast iron downpipes with strap lug fixings. Chimneys are rather plain by comparison, but still have string courses and corbelled caps and are surmounted by numerous conical beehive type pots. Note that No.20 Bolton Road was visited by George V and Queen Mary on 25 March 1914 and has a commemorative plaque. Condition - good. Risks - ivy is invading the south elevation between houses 3 and 4 and this should be kept in check or totally removed. It will already be causing significant damage to brickwork. I note it has gained entry to the roof void between the properties. Poor decoration to metal casement windows at first floor level to No.3 Cross Street. Extensive plant growth requiring raking out and repointing to the chimney stacks to Nos. 3 and 4 Cross Street. A variety of broken or missing tiles to the roof requiring replacement. Raking out and repointing also required to the tracery terracotta above No.4 Cross Street. Particularly offensive TV aerials occupy the chimneys of Nos. 2/3 and 3/4 Cross Street. Surface cables from TV aerials / BT also require clipping and painting out if possible. Black cables are particularly obtrusive. Maintenance works also required to repoint terracotta to the side windows of No.1 Cross Street, overlooking Bolton Road. The rear of the block has none of the exuberance of the front of the elevation and is constructed in plain fairfaced brickwork with arched lintels to eaves height and has alternating hipped and square headed gables. The latter with lead roof covering, which require inspection. One square headed gable to No.3 Cross Street, is in poor condition. Many windows require redecoration. Fortunately, rainwater goods and soil pipes are in original cast iron and have not been replaced. One top hung casement has been added to a ground floor window on the north gable of No.1 Bath Street. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 13 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Overglazing has been applied to the ground floor windows to the north elevation of No.20 Bolton Road. Surplus pipework has been taken through the stone plinth, presumably to connect basins. This should ideally be taken internally to one central outlet. 12b. 45-55 Bebington Road Date 1899 Description Terrace of 6.no cottages with no. 45 steeped back towards the corner and nestled against 12g nos. 2-8 Boundary Road. Fairfaced brickwork external walls with square hood moulds to the windows and doors in a perpendicular gothic style. Clay tiled roof. Impressive brick decorative stack especially to No.45 end gable. Only 2.no flues are used while the remainder of the stack, consisting of canted shafts on a mid-height stone plinth above a brick base, are all decorative. Other brick chimney stacks are more normal with slight decoration via fluted shafts and brick corbelled caps. Variety of clay chimney pots. Brick decorative diaper patterning to gable of no.45. Stone stringcourse to main elevation together with brick dormers. Larger feature gable to no.53. Gable windows to no.55 with decorative stone plaque above. A solid and attractive composition. Condition Fair to good 12c. 15 Bolton Road Date - c1890. Risks - Some of the brickwork needs racking out and repointing and a few areas of stonework need to be refaced, due to damage caused by frost action. Doors to properties no. 51 and 53 need to be redecorated to prevent decay. Redecoration required to all windows. The roof is the main concern with mainly slipped tiles. Chimney flashings need to be replaced. Vegetation on the roof and on the chimney stacks, and especially in the guttering of property no. 49, needs to be raked out. Trailing wires down the fronts of the property look unsightly and need to be better fixed or removed. Large number of aerials especially on no. 51 require better fixing. Obsolete aerials should be removed. Rear Elevation - Raking out and repointing of the brickwork at the back of the properties and to the outbuildings is required. Redecoration of all gable windows needed especially the painted render panels to the dormer windows with an unusual painted half timbering pattern.. There are a few slipped tiles on the roof which need to be replaced and the chimney stacks also need to be raked out and repointed. Property No. 51 has a poorly constructed conservatory which needs attention. This has caused a hindrance at getting to the window at the first floor level which is now in very poor condition and needs to be completely replaced, along with the timbers above the window and the infill panel. TV aerials, sky dishes, security lights and trailing wires down the backs of the properties need to be better positioned/ fixed. Description Attractive detached house with a combination of varied materials and finishes. Largely fairfaced red brickwork to lower walls with stone sills and brick arched lintels. Varied first floor decoration including pebbledash panelling and wall hung decorative tiling, including a sweep of tiling over the entrance porch and adjacent bay window. Notable decorative pargetting to 2.no gables, including date 1891. Condition - good Risks Some repointing to brickwork needed. Some has been done but probably not in lime mortar. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 14 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

12d. 20 Bolton Road See 12a Missing/ slipped tile roofs and wall cladding needs repair. Pebbledash render is well worn and needs re-application. 12e. 3-4 Brook Street Date - 1906 Description - Pair of semi-detached houses with brick and render ground floor and decorative tile hung upper floors and bays. Intricate detail of tile hanging swept down over the entrance porches and also taken around the apron and side cheeks to the first floor bay windows. Angled rendered buttresses to side are similar to the work of C.F.A Voysey as are the heart shaped motifs to shutters. Prominent half timbered gables. Rendered chimney stacks with terracotta cornicing and beehive caps. Original cast iron gutters and downpipes have been replaced in part by plastic. Condition - good to No.3, fair to No.4. Risks - poor decoration and repair to gable of No.4. PVCu guttering to upper eaves generally. This also requires clearly out of silt and debris. Missing render to central chimney requires replacing together with raking out and removal of plant growths and repointing as necessary. Rear elevation has rendered walls full height together with brick arched lintels to ground floor door and window openings. Roofing in terracotta clay plain tiles and some cracked / missing tiles require replacement. Lower sections of rear wall have decayed brick (due to rising damp?). This requires cutting out and replacing. 12f. 5-10 Brook Street Date 1901 Description - Picturesque linear terrace was with half timbered elements set within largely rendered masonry walls over a low level brick plinth. Advancing bay onto Brook Street to No.6 adds to the appearance together with cantilevered first floor to No.5 and prominent chimney to end elevation of No.10. Roofs in plain clay tile with brick copings to 3 gables. Chimneys in rendered brickwork with fairfaced dentil course and brick cappings. Condition - good. Risks - PVCu gutters and downpipes have replaced much of the cast iron original particularly to 5-7. PVCu also installed to end elevation of No.10. Render to chimney on No.10 is cracking and requires breaking off and reapplication together with removal of plant growth at high level. The timber work to No.10 facing Brook Street requires redecoration particularly to the angled headboard bracketed out from the bottom tie beam. I am unsure about the purpose of this beam. It appears to have no practical function. Usual cacophony of TV aerials particularly to two central chimney stacks to 6-7 and 8-9. Loose cables to roof require clipping. Roof to No.10 appears to have been relaid recently and is in good repair. Roof elsewhere good but some slipped / missing tiles requiring replacement. 12g. 2-8 Boundary Road Date 1899 Description - Fairfaced brickwork to the ground floor of the properties with timber panelling and framing to the first floor of the properties, window surrounds in stone at the ground floor level and in timber at the first floor level. Timber porches with clay tiled roofs over all the front doors and clay tiled roof with brick chimney stacks. Dormer windows to the ground and first floor level of property Nos. 4 and 6. Condition Fair to good Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 15 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - First floor windows to property No. 2 needs some redecoration to prevent from further decay. The panelling on property No. 4 needs to be redecorated, as it is peeling, to prevent any further damage. Slipped their over the porch need to be replaced. The dormer windows need repair and redecoration, as do the bay windows on property No. 6. The timber panelling to the first floor of property No. 6 also needs some repair work, as it looks to be slightly twisting and could indicate further structural problems. Further investigation is required. The flashing on the porch of property No. 6 is in poor condition and needs to be replaced. There is much vegetation in the guttering and on the chimney stacks which need to be raked out. Slipped and broken tiles on the roof need to be replaced. There are a few trailing wires down the fronts of the properties into the windows at the ground floor level, which need to be better hidden. Rear Elevation - General raking out and repointing of the brickwork and redecoration work to property Nos. 6 and 8, especially to the windows and timber beams at first floor level to prevent decay. Makeshift porch on property No. 2 looks unsightly and needs to be removed. Alarm boxes, sky dishes, security lights and trailing wires need to be better hidden. Raking out of vegetation in the chimney stacks is required and re-pointing. The chimney stacks of property No. 2 in poor condition with many of the bricks eroded. These need to be replaced. Outbuildings at the back of the property and garden walls need to be raked out and repointed and some of the bricks replaced. Damaged roof tiles to outbuildings need to be replaced. 12h. 1 11 Boundary Road 12i. 13-31 Boundary Road Unbuilt. Date 1905 Description Long terrace of 10.no cottages looking southward over a part square of grass with the former bowling green beyond. Low brickwork plinth with painted render to the upper walls. Protruding bay details in a combination of timber frame and render panels particularly to nos. 21-23 which have a jettied first floor bay window running full width of the bay and supported on decorative carved timber brackets with decorative half timbered lower panel. Nos. 15 & 29 have jettied first floor son brackets surmounted by segmented bay windows and further double jettied gables in half timber work. Roof in plain clay tiles with pebbledash render to chimney stacks with a terracotta decorative cornice. It is strange that the chimney materials are not seen in the main elevations. Hipped gambrel roof to the end of no. 31 with upper gable (known as a gablet) in render. Condition Fair Risks Brickwork to the ground floor level needs to be raked out and repointed in some areas. Door to no. 31 needs to be redecorated. Some of the windows on No. 23 need to be redecorated and some of the timbers may need to be replaced. Timber framework no No. s 21 & 23 are showing signs of decay and requires further detailed inspection. Re-decoration required to prevent further decay. There has been some damage to a beautifully detailed fascia board between properties no. 21 and 23, where some of the carving has been removed. Infill panels on property No. 23 need to be redecorated. There has been some attempted repair work to the timbers on property No. 15, using expanding foam. This needs to be removed and repaired in a more suitable fashion before it causes further damage. Some redecoration and repair works needed to the windows and doors of property No. 13 to prevent further damage. The roof is in generally good condition with only a few slipped tiles which need to be replaced. The chimneys are also in good condition. However, there are many trailing wires down the fronts of the property and unsightly aerials. Rear Elevation - Some raking out and repointing of the brickwork required at the ground floor level. There has been some patching of the brickwork with new brickwork which does not completely match in colour. Some painted render at the rears needs to be repaired and redecorated. There are many slipped tiles on the roof which need to be replaced. Removal of vegetation from the gutters and from the chimney stacks needed. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 16 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Property No. 17 has a different style of window at the rear of the property on the ground floor than the other windows in the row. The outbuildings and the rear garden wall to the properties are in poor condition. They all need raking out and repointing and the roofs are in very poor condition and may require complete replacement. 12j. 35 Boundary Road Date 1905 Description One of the few shop units within the Village. Brickwork plinth with render above to ground floor. Timber frame and infill panels to the first floor. Windows all have timber surrounds and the roof is in clay tiles. Chimney is pebbledash with clay chimney pots. Condition Fair to good Risks Upkeep of the render on the ground floor and continuing maintenance of the timbers to the first floor, especially to the bracket which is supporting the overhang of the first floor level. Cill and lintol to the first floor window needs particular attention, they may just need some treatment to prevent decay. Moss to the roof needs to be brushed off. Slipped tiles need replacement. 12k. 37-47 Boundary Road Date 1905 Description - Fairfaced brickwork to the ground floor level with pebbledash render to the first floor. Windows with timber surrounds, lintols to the ground floor in brick with a stone keystone. Roof in clay tiles with a clay tiled porch over the door. Condition poor 12l. 1-4 The Causeway Date - 1901 Risks - Brickwork to the ground floor needs to be raked out and repointed, especially to the corner. Render on the first floor needs brushing off. All windows require re-decoration. Slipped tiles on the roof need to be replaced. Alarm boxes and trailing wires down the front of the property need to be better fixed. Rear Elevation - Raking out and repointing to brickwork. Windows to the first floor of property No. 39 need to be redecorated. Property No. 41 has had replacement PVCu windows on ground floor level. Replacement tiles are required where they have slipped on the roof. Garden wall and out houses walls require to be raked out and repointed. Property Nos. 45 & 47 are in very poor condition. Much raking out and repointing of the brickwork needs to be carried out. The render work to the first floor needs to be redecorated. All windows appear to be in poor condition and need to be redecorated. Slipped tiles on the roof need to be replaced. Walls to outbuildings need to be raked out and repointed and there are many slipped tiles and some slumping of the roofs which needs to be addressed. There are also locations where drainage pipes have been redirected, these areas need to be made good. Security lights, wires and TV aerials to the backs of the properties, these need to be better fixed. Description Highly distinctive group of cottages to the corner of Greendale Road with The Causeway. This is actually a terrace of 4.no larger cottages but dominated by the unique roof to no.1 which resembles a witches hat with varying pitch to a equal hipped roof increasing in pitch to a sharp point; all in clay plain tile. The banded hip tiles in a bold semi-circular profile further add to the dramatic profile of this feature. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 17 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Nos. 3 & 4 have a prominent forward range with a hipped roof and double height bays with dormer roofs above. The latter are further detailed with little gambrel roofs and upper gablets. The bays are segmental with decorative black & white work with vertical decorative posts to the mid panels. No. 4 has a prominent chimney with steeped ledges and a pebbledashed cap. External walls are largely in painted render over a red brick plinth. No. 1 is further distinguished with stone quoins & dressing to windows and a stone string course. Elsewhere windows are in timber. Cast iron rainwater goods on fair condition. Rears in a more usual brick to lower walls with corbelled string course and plain painted stucco render above. Condition - good. Risks Nos. 1 and 2 have several slipped slates on the roof which require replacement. Corrosion of stonework, especially to string course to no.1 requires attention at this is delaminating. Raking out of vegetation on the roof and in the guttering of No.2. Repair and redecoration work required to all timber windows including dormer windows. Access to the properties is currently by a concrete path which is unsightly. Aerials & cabling to the chimney of nos. 2&3 requires attention. Rear Elevation - Raking out and repointing of the brickwork is required and a few slipped tiles on the roof need to be replaced. Smooth render requires redecoration in places. All timber windows require redecoration. 12m. 18-26 Circular Drive See also 12ao 2-6 Pool Bank Date 1906 Description Corner terrace of 8.no cottages to the corner of Pool Bank with Circular Drive. Highly decorative with a variety of complex forms and treatments to articulate the exterior particularly the distinctive octagonal corner turret to no.26 and the jettied bay to no.20. The turret has classical dentil decoration to the cornice and stringcourse. In addition there are a number of dormer gables and separate dormer windows. The latter have small pediments to the centre. First floor windows to the dormer gables have small Venetian style semi circular headed centre panes. Lower walls on pebbledash render over a low brick plinth with upper walls in tile hanging. Some porches have arched brick heads, the latter to no.26 is particularly wide. Some cottages have normal porches with swept tile roofs on timber brackets. Prominent chimney stack to elevation of no.18 with ground floor bay window to end gable. The whole can only be described as a riot of style. Roofs are in clay plain tile with chimney stacks in rendered shafts with brick cornices, corbelled caps and red clay pots. Cast iron gutters & downpipes with distinctive balloon hoppers. Rear elevations are in pebbledash to all walls over a low brick plinth. There are still a number of square headed dormer windows and dormer gables adding variety & interest. Many original SVP pipes & ogee caps survive which is good to see. Condition Fair Risks Some repointing to low level brickwork and to brick hoodmoulds to the doors of nos. 2-6. Most timber dormer windows & upper windows to gables require redecoration. Rainwater goods need redecoration generally. Missing/ slipped tiles to walls & roof require repair. Painted gable to no.18 requires decoration. Rear elevation - Windows generally need to be repaired and re-decorated for the majority of the properties. Slipped tiles on the roofs generally need to be replaced. Rear tile hanging to nos. 4&6 needs repair to slipped/ missing tiles. Non- original window patterns installed to the rears of several properties particularly nos. 20 & 2-6. I suspect that side hung casements with vertical mullions would have been fitted. No. 26 has PVCu windows to the ground and first floor. Aerials & trailing wires down the back of the properties need to be better fixed. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 18 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

12n. 6-13 Church Drive Date - 1905 Description - ground floor in combination of red sandstone and brickwork with stone surrounds to the windows and attractive arch stone lintel above the doors. No.6, 7, 12 and 13 - first floor in render with windows having timber lintels and sills. Clay tiled details to the top of the gable ends and the roof is in clay tiles. Chimney stacks in brickwork with clay chimney pots. Condition - Fair. Risks Repair and replace damaged sandstone. Some areas of repointing are required to the stone and brick work. Some of the glass panes to the windows and doors do not match. Slipped roof tiles need to be replaced. Timber detailing of porch over No.8 and No.11 is different and may need to be checked with the original designs to see what is most appropriate. Burglar alarms to No.7, 9, 12 and 13 and aerials and loose wires to the front of building look unsightly. No.10 needs repair and redecoration to the windows on the first floor level. No.11 needs attention to the flashings on the gable. No.12 has a ramp access in concrete which has been added to the front of the property and a rail at the side of the property and general ironmongery which is not in keeping. Access for elderly and disabled residents needs to be better finished. There is no reason why ramps and rails cannot be in keeping. Some of the chimney pots to these properties differ from originals. Rear elevations - PVCu windows to ground and first floor to properties No. 8-13 none of which are in keeping with original design. Pebble dash render to the back of the property needs cleaning and repointing works need to be carried out to the brickwork generally. The roof is in fair condition with some areas of patching in tiles of different colours to the original. No.10 has PVCu rainwater guttering added to the property which is unsightly and there are many visible aerials and burglar alarms to the backs of the properties and some loose wires running down the fascias, which look unsightly. 12o. 55-59 Corniche Road (joint project with Wilson and Talbot) Date 1899 Description - Brickwork plinth with render to upper walls. Bay window to the ground floor of each property with an interesting roof detail continuing to form entrance porches and the roofs for the bay windows between the ground and first floor levels. Windows at first floor are dormer windows protruding into the clay tiled roof. Brick chimneystacks with stepping and detailed design and clay chimney pots. The door surrounds are in brickwork and the window surrounds are in timber. Condition good Risks Some windows need redecorating to prevent decay. Missing/slipped tiles to the roof and to the porches and bay windows need to be replaced and any other damage repaired. Areas where the lead flashing has pulled away needs to be corrected. Trailing wires and alarm boxes down the front of the property need to be better hidden. The concrete path is unsightly. Rear - It was not possible to inspect the rear of the properties due to a high hedge. 12p. 1-9 Cross Street See 12a 1 Bath Street which forms part of the same block with 20 Bolton Road (ref. 12d). 12q. 6k Greendale Road Date 1901 Description - picturesque timber framed cottage with 2 units consisting of fairfaced brick plinth with ground and first floors in timber framing. Masonry chimney to side elevation. First floors slightly cantilevered. Half timbered gables. Timber sills to windows and Tudor style arches to doors. Harling wet dash render to infill panels and chimney. Plain clay tiles to roof. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 19 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Condition - good. Risks - Harling render to chimney is cracking and in need of urgent repair. One window to the Greendale elevation (above entrance door to No.7) appears to have been taken out and a flat panel added. Later entrance door to 6K added. 12r. 7-10 Greendale Road Date - 1901 Description - Terrace of 3 houses.

Risks - Major treatment and decoration to timberwork. First floor window frames appear to be decayed. Patched detail to roof over walkway above doors, requires decoration. Slight damage to doorstep and brickwork. Clearing out of guttering and possible replacement of guttering needed. Paths to doorways are in concrete and unsightly. PVCu guttering and downpipes dilute character. Some missing / slipped clay tiles to end gable over No.11. Rear shed to Nos 8 and 9 in poor condition with missing guttering and damaged tiling. Rear wall in poor condition generally. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 30 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

12 aw. 23-24 Windy Bank Date - 1907 Description ground and first floors in brick work with very detailed surround to windows also in brick with insets of stone. Various types of brick have been used of varying quality and colour. Detailed string coursing runs around doors and window between ground and first floor. Gable ends have interesting detailed pattern in brickwork, using bricks on a 45 o angle. Roof is in slate with brick chimneystacks. Door to No.23 is curved, with door surround part of cylindrical tower with cone shaped roof to the top and matching the detailed gabled end. Condition - generally good. Risks Localised re-pointing to brickwork especially to No.23. The lintels on all the properties need attention, raking out and repointing. Roof and chimneys need to have vegetation removed. Slipped slates in a few areas need to be replaced. Some windows decayed on the round turret of No.23. These need to be replaced. Conical roof to cylindrical turret is in good condition but has some areas where the slates have moved and areas where the flashing is exposed. Some repair work required. Extractor fans, aerials, wires look unsightly and need re-fixing. Rear - re-pointing work needs to be carried out to the back of the building. Special consideration needs to be paid to the sills and the lintels as some staining can be seen below these. Windows frames need repair and redecoration. Flashing around chimney stacks needs to be replaced and vegetation needs to be brushed off the roof. 12 ax. 12-18 Windy Bank Date 1902 Description - Terrace of 7 houses. These are some of the properties predating the introduction of The Diamond and the Lady Lever Art Gallery. They occupy a sweeping corner and are juxtaposed at odd angles as a result. Varying angles and collisions of roof form add charm but are difficult to maintain. External materials are a brick plinth with rendered walls above, with some part timbered. Some doors have been placed on splayed corners with bracketed corners above, to act as porches. Roofs are in plain clay tiles. Most rainwater guttering and downpipes have been replaced with black PVCu. Chimney stacks have been pebbled dashed, but have a pretty dentil brick cornice to the head. Windows are plain, square panelled casements with leaded lights. Condition - good Risks - PVCu guttering. Several properties have flat porches in timber with lead coverings which require inspection. Unfortunate array of TV aerials and cables to No.12. To the rear most first floor windows are to original patterns, but some ground floor windows have been replaced or larger openings formed for patio style windows. No.14 has PVCu to the ground floor. 12 ay. 27-35 Wood Street Date - 1895 Description Terrace of 5.no cottages consisting of stone and masonry ground floors with low eaves to first floor and decorative brick gables to first floor openings. The two end terraces and central terrace have advancing gables flanked by the porches and adjacent entrance doors. The brick stepped gables to the central and end terraces are particularly fine. Masonry walls have a coursed rubblestone plinth with fairfaced brickwork above, together with stone string course, brick dentil course and a further stone sill course to first floor openings. Doors and windows have stone dressings. Chimneys are in brick with two string courses and corner pilasters. End gables are also stepped with stone dressings. Condition good (No. 35 Poor). Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 31 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - Several missing plain clay tiles, particularly above No.31, need replacing. Weathered brick facings to decorative gables particularly to No.35. Part of the original stone coping and brick finial to No. 35 is missing. Gutters require clearing out and repainting. Down pipe to No. 35 appears blocked. Gutter above No.35 porch is broken. 12 az. 37-47 Wood Street Date - 1895 Description - similar treatment to Building 12AY with a brick and stone ground floor and decorative gables to first floor openings. The stepped gables are simpler consisting of three tiers instead of five and a roof profile is in two pitches with a steeper mansard. The bays are flush with the ground floor and entrance doors have four centred arches without porches. Roofs are in plain clay tile. Rainwater goods in cast iron. Condition - good. Risks - several missing / slipped clay tiles. Some moss growth to roof. Shaling / weathered face to external brickwork particularly between ground and first floor windows and to exposed gable. This may be due to pointing in a harder cement mortar. Several stepped gables appear to have been rebuilt, including that to No.37 and the first floor gables to most of the terrace. TV aerials and loose cabling particularly visible especially to the chimney of 37/39. Surface fixed alarm boxes also detract from appearance. Box to No.37 appears to have damaged the arched window head. Gutters generally require decoration and clearing out. Several chimneys require repointing. Timber casement windows require stripping back and redecoration generally. Note that a new brick has been used for the rebuilding works to the stepped gables, particularly to No. 47. This does not appear to match other properties in the terrace. 12 bb. 14-16 Church Drive & 25-27 Windy Bank Date - 1900 Description - ground floor and first floor of building in decorative brick with brick lintels and window sills. Doors recessed with brick porches. Roof in slate with brick chimney stacks and clay chimney pots. Central area between properties 16 Church Drive and 27 Windy Bank with a stepped forward area with cylindrical barrelled covered with lead. The fascia of this has special artwork of an ornate style stating the date 1900 and the letter L, for Lever. Condition Fair to poor. 12 bc 33 Boundary Road Architect Grayson & Ould Date 1905 Risks - Repointing to brickwork needed. All the timber window frames need to be repaired and redecorated. Some slipped slates on the roof which need to be repaired and vegetation on the chimney stacks which needs to be removed. Again, aerials and loose wires running down the front of the property look unsightly. Rear elevations - in poor condition. Repointing work needs to be carried out to the majority of the brickwork to the back. There is patching and staining to the roof and there are many slipped slates which need to be replaced. Windows to No.25 are in very poor condition. Aerials, burglar alarm, and loose wires look unsightly. To No.26 there is a poor extension at the back of this property, as there are to all the properties in this row. Nos. 14-16 Church Drive have had replacement PVCu windows at the back of the property to ground and first floors. Replacement to the soffit on No.14 may be required. Description One of the few shop units constructed within the Village. 6.no courses of brickwork to the ground floor of the property with pebbledash render above to ground and first floors. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 32 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Windows all in timber. Nicely shaped bay windows to the ground floor shop front onto Boundary Road. Roof in red clay tiles. Recently redecorated to timberwork and plaster render. Condition good 12 The Bridge Inn Date 1900 12 Church Drive School Date 1903-4 Risks - Timbers of the curved bay window at the ground floor level need to be redecorated and timber surrounds to the windows also need to be redecorated to prevent from decay. Windows to the first floor seem in good condition. Some vegetation needs to be raked out from the guttering at the roof level. Roof in generally good condition. Rear Elevation - The rear of the property is in good condition. Some slipped tiles on the roof require replacement and some vegetation needs to be removed. The Bridge Inn is the public house within Port Sunlight Village. Its name relates to the Victoria Bridge that took Bolton Road over the tidal inlet to the north of the Inn. This was infilled in 1910 and little remains of the bridge. Originally conceived as a Temperance Hotel but a village vote favoured the serving of alcohol and a license was obtained in 1903. (It is not known what Lever thought of this decision. It is surprising that he allowed the vote.) The building consists of a U shaped plan with a central range running north-south and the principal elevation facing Bolton Road to the east. On either side of the main range two advancing wings come forwards to the rear of the pavement. These have jetted gables with prominent semi-circular oriel windows. The jetties and barge boards to either gable are decoratively carved. Within the courtyard formed by the wings there are 2 No. timbered arcades which have latterly been glazed to form conservatory style additions to each wing. The roofs are in clay plain tiles and chimneys are in red facing brick set at 45 o to the main stack. The building sits on a brick and stone plinth, but the superstructure is largely in a wet-harling render with masonry paint. This is embellished in places with timbered brackets and string courses breaking up the mass of the superstructure. The windows are timbered casements with decorative heads. The building appears to be in good condition but some timbers require decoration. Some of the roofs to the rear (west elevation) have moss to the roofs which require brushing off. Gutters also require clearing out periodically. There is a later two-storey function room to the rear. There are some beautiful features on the building. Particularly noteworthy is the Ogee capped roof to the west oriel window. Sadly the later function room and garage block have largely obscured the west elevation. The School is located to the west end of the Church, on the north side of Church Drive. It replaced the earlier school in the Lyceum. Presumably the enlargement of the Village required more accommodation for the growing school. Along with the Church, it was constructed before the tidal inlets were filled in. As a result part of the playground and the basement area are at a lower level than the surrounding landscape and reflect the earlier original ground level of the tidal inlet also known as The Pool. The building is largely single-storey with a combination of red brick and stone dressings to external walls, together with harling render. The roof, in clay plain tiles, is distinguished by a series of beautifully fabricated decorative ventilators with Ogee caps giving the building a strangely oriental appearance. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 33 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

12 The Cottage Hospital Date 1907 Some of the windows to the larger classrooms and halls have a Venetian style semi-circular central section. The Cottage Hospital is located on the east side of Lodge Lane and to the west of Church Drive School. It used to overlook the tidal inlet to the East, known as The Pool. It was intended to have open air wards which allowed fresh air and pleasant views over the Pool to the south and east. (However beyond this was the ever present factory to remind patients to get back to work.) It is largely two-storey to the central block with single storey wards to the south and east. Materials are a combination of rendered panels with red facing brick quoins and window heads. The style is Queen Anne/ Neo-Georgian with classical features such as dentilled cornices. Chimneys are distinctive with rendered shafts and decorative brick cornices. Some gables are hipped while others are expressed with pedimented gables. The roofing is in green Westmorland slate with diminished courses. Hips are in secret leadwork. The building is currently redundant and surrounded by security fencing. Close inspection was not possible. The building is in a serious state of neglect and has been subject to vandal attack, particularly to the west elevation onto Lodge Lane. This elevation has a distinctive entrance door and porch with neo-classical scrolled brackets supporting a square edged flat roof porch. The single-storey wards have ornate roof ventilators with Ogee caps similar to the adjacent School building. 12 Old Boys' and Pensioners Club Date 1896 (later extension 1968 by Unilever Technical services) Originally the Old Boys & Pensioners Club and now The Port Sunlight Bowling Club, located next to the station on the south-east corner of the Village. This has a bowling green to the east side and the railway lines immediately to the south. The building is located at the bottom end of Park Road. The building is in two sections with an older and earlier two-storey building by Grayson & Ould in a cottage vernacular, and a later and larger two-storey extension to the north side, which is circa 1968 by Unilever Technical Services. This has a brick base on a concrete slab and a shallow mono-pitch roof with raised dormers to the east elevation. There is a two-storey glazed link connecting both buildings. The original building had an attractive timbered arcade/ veranda to the north elevation with attractive cloverleaf motifs, overlooking more extensive Bowling Greens. However, the later extension has all but obliterated the earlier building and its setting within the Village. It is regrettable that the extension is not more sympathetic. The view of the latter from Park Road is particularly regrettable in the setting of the wider village. Planting is to be encouraged to obscure the eyesore. 13a. 49-53 Corniche Road Architect - Edmund Kirby Date 1899 Description - Fairfaced brickwork to the ground and first floor levels with timber surrounds to the windows and doors. First floor windows with arched brick lintel. Central window of the property is a dormer window protruding through the clay tiled roof which extends to create an attractive porch over the door to No. 51. Brick chimneystacks with clay chimney pots to the central bay of the property. Condition Fair Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 34 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - Brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. Windows have been recently redecorated and repaired on properties 53 and 51, however first floor windows on 49 need to be repaired and redecorated. Slipped and damaged roof tiles need to be replaced and trailing wires down the front of the property, especially 49, need to be better hidden. Concrete path to the front doors is unsightly. Rear of the Property - Brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. Moss to the roof needs to be brushed off. Vegetation needs to be removed from the roof and redecoration works need to be carried out to all the windows, especially those to the first floor level. No. 49 has a conservatory at the back of the property, which is making maintenance work of the first floor level including the window difficult. The back garden wall and outbuildings need to be raked out, repointed and generally repaired. 13b. 40-50 Primrose Hill Architect - Edmund Kirby Date 1898 Description - A more traditional cottage style terrace with ornate brickwork and render panels. Fairfaced brick walls with prominent brick cills and string courses, together with a low dormer style roof with 4 prominent brick gables with heavy section timber barge boards to the 2 No. central cottages and the 2 No. end units. Fairfaced brick chimneys with corbelled caps. Shallow brick arched windows to the first floor gables with double hung sliding sash windows and leaded lights to the upper sash. Gutters in a combination of original cast iron with replacement PVCu. Roofs in a brindle clay plain tile. Condition good but 44 only fair due to damaged guttering. Risks - PVCu guttering to most lower eaves. No. 44 has cast iron but this is damaged and requires refixing/replacement. Missing/slipped tiles to No. 42 require replacement. Central valley between the two gables requires regular inspection. Usual ugly TV aerials to chimney stacks. Missing pots to most stacks, particularly the 2 No. double stacks to Nos 42 and 46. 14a. 81-87 Bebington Road Architect - T M Lockwood Date 1899 Description - Fairfaced brickwork to the ground floor and tiling to the first floor level. Central bay of the property is in timber frame with timber surrounds to the windows. The roof is in clay tiles with brick chimney stacks and clay chimney pots. Condition Fair Risks The timber framing needs regular inspections. Some of the tiles on the first floor of No. 81 need to be re-hung. Properties No. 83 and 85 need to repair and redecorate the windows on both the ground and the first floor level. No. 87 first floor tiles need to be re-hung in some areas. There are a few slipped slates on the roof which need to be replaced and the chimney stack needs to be raked out and repointed. Trailing wires down the central section of the property need to be relocated and better hidden. No. 87 windows at the first floor level need redecoration/repair. The ivy on the chimney stack of property No. 87 needs to be removed to avoid future damage. Rear Elevation - First floor windows need redecoration and repair work. Many TV aerials and trailing wires from the central chimney stack need to be better hidden and wires properly fixed. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 35 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

14b. 38-48 Park Road Architect - T M Lockwood Date - 1895 Description - Terrace of 6 houses. Fairfaced brick to ground floor with oversailing first floor in timber frame with intermediate bay windows and heavy timber bracket supports. Additional oversailing gables with side brackets give protection to the first floor bay windows. The roof is in diminished coarse green Westmorland slate with red clay ridge. Valleys are lead lined. Chimneys are in decorative fairfaced brick with stone dressings and 'beaux arts' motifs. Condition - good. Risks - chimneys generally require raking out and removal of plant growth with repointing as necessary. Some moss growth to slates require periodic clearing off. Internal valley gutter and lead lined hopper between the two central gables requires routine clearing out. Note guttering and downpipes are in a combination of cast iron and PVCu. PVCu downpipe between the two central gables is particularly unfortunate. PVCu guttering has been added above No.40. Clearing out to gutter above No.46 also required. Redecoration to some external joinery/ timber work required. Unfortunate TV aerials particularly to the central chimney. Loose cables require fixing. 15. 17-23 Corniche Road. Architect - E L Lutyens Date 1899 Description Unusual composition with 2 No. central bays in render flanked by tile hung wings over a fairfaced brick base. Condition Fair to good. Risks - Raking out and repointing of the brickwork in some areas is required. Some redecoration work is required to the doors and windows, especially to the first floor level window of property 23 and some repair work to the guttering where it is leaking. Roof and wall tiling is in good condition but some slipped tiles require refixing. Rear of the property - Raking out and repointing of the brickwork to the backs of the properties and replacing slipped tiles from the roof and raking out of the vegetation from the chimneystacks. Windows appear to be in reasonably good condition with small amounts of repair/redecoration work required at the first floor level. Internal valley gutter with outlet through the West chimney requires regular inspections and clearing out. 16a. 61-67 Corniche Road Architect Huon A Matear Date 1898 Description - Ground floor and first floor in fairfaced brickwork with doors to Nos. 63 and 65 in recessed arches. Mansard roof profile with two flanking wings at right angles to the main roof and exposed Dutch style gables. Property 61 has an unusual cylindrical entrance. The roof is in clay tile but chimney stacks are in fairfaced brickwork and the chimney pots are in clay. The design is interesting and distinctive with Dutch influences. Condition Fair to good Risks - Brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. Slipped tiles on the roof need to be rehung and replaced. Corner of roof to No. 67 damaged and needs repair. All windows are in poor condition and need to be repaired and redecorated. Alarm boxes and loose trailing wires down the front of the property need to be better hidden. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 36 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Rear of the Property - Brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed in some areas. Roof tiles which had slipped need to be replaced. Some windows, especially those at the ground floor of property 65 and at the first floor of property 67 need to be repaired and redecorated. The back garden wall and outbuildings of the property need to be repaired, by raking out, repointing, replacing of bricks that have been damaged by the use of the wrong cement or due to frost action. 16b. 148-156 New Chester Road Architect Huon A Matear Date - 1899 Description - Brickwork to the ground floor with render panels to upper walls. Windows and doors with brick lintols and concrete cills to the windows. Protruding bay windows to the first and second floor, but to the central bay only with two tile hung mini-gables facing the road. Roof in clay tile with brick chimney stacks. Condition Fair to good. Risks Central valley gutter needs regular in section. All the windows need re-painting and decorating to prevent decay. Aerials to the chimney stacks and trailing wires, and alarms to the front of the property need to be brickwork better fixed. Some efflorescence evident from where water has got into the brick string course. This will need to be repaired/re-pointed with some acid cleaning to brickwork as necessary. Rear - Raking out and re-pointing to patches of the brickwork. Some of the bricks need replacing as there has been some frost action. General re-decoration work carried out to all windows needed. There is a PVCu conservatory and PVCu windows to the ground floor of No. 156. Alarm boxes and wires trailing down the backs of the property look unsightly. 16c. 200-210 New Chester Road Architect Huon A Matear Date 1899 Fairfaced smooth red brick elevational treatment with decorative dutch style features. Arched lintols to ground floor windows. Red tile roofs with very low eaves to frontage. Cast iron rw goods. Prominent first floor dormers with lead flat roofs. Prominent flanking side wings with double Dutch style decorative gables to zoo-zoo. Condition - Fair Risks slipped/missing tiles to be replaced. Gable windows need decoration, lead apron flashing loose/missing to No. 210. Damaged porch to 202. At the rear of the property - Raking out and re-pointing to brickwork at the rear of the property. Re-pointing needed to the cills of the windows where there appears to have been some water getting in. Some properties need replacement windows at the first floor level. Some appear to be decayed and in poor condition. There are a few slipped tiles on the roof which need to be replaced. The back garden wall of the property is in very poor condition. It has been patched with unsuitable mortar and has caused the brick to crumble away. These bricks need to be replaced and the mortar needs to be raked out and the wall re-pointed. Gate posts are in very poor condition. These also need to be repaired. 16d. 19-25 Pool Bank Architect Huon A Matear Date 1899 Description Distinctive turret like central bay flanked by a dormer style tiled roof with protruding dormers. The chimney stacks are in pebbledash render with clay chimney pots. A long tiled porch to either side of the turret provides cover to the entrance doors and 2 No. curved bay windows. Asymmetric first floor with 2 No. dormer windows to West side and 1 No. to East. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 37 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Condition Fair Risks - Brickwork to the ground floor level needs to be raked out and re-pointed with special attention being paid to under the cill levels of the central bay on the ground floor where a lot of water has got in. There is discolouration and mould growing between the mortar joints under the windows. The parapet detail to the central bay needs some attention as there looks to be damp patches. Windows of the central bay appear in poor condition. These will need to be replaced and re-decorated. Vegetation growing on the roof will need to be brushed off. Vegetation in the chimney stacks will need to be raked out. A few slipped slates on the roof need to be replaced, but roof is in generally good condition. Some of the chimney pots to the property are plastic, not original clay. These should be replaced. Porch detail over the front doors of the properties is supported on a combination of a brick and timber column, and on timber brackets. These will need to be regularly inspected for signs of decay. However, at present they look to be in fair condition although some redecoration work is required. 16e. 16-28 Primrose Hill Architect Huon A Matear Date 1899 Description - Cottage style composition with a central dormer style range with two-storey end bays and distinctive towers at the junction between the advancing end bays and the central range. Fairfaced brick plinth course with pebbledash to exterior walls. Brick cills to timber casement windows and half timbered gables. Chimneys are also rendered with a single course of brick to the caps. Standard circular pots to most chimneys, but many have missing pots, particularly No. 28. Condition Fair 17. The Heritage Centre Architect - Maxell and Tuke Date - 1896 Risks Some sagging to the ridge and roof pitches to the central range may require investigation. PVCu guttering has been applied to the building, presumably replacing original cast iron. Some cast iron remains to No. 16 and is a more appropriate size. The replacement downpipes appear overlarge. Paintwork is generally good but first floor bays to Nos. 22 and 24 require attention. The single remaining pot to the chimney of No. 28 appears incongruous. Usual mass of TV aerials which appear to point in different directions, together with loose aerial cables which require clipping. The end elevations have prominent chimneys, again in pebbledash with broad shoulders. Render to sloped surfaces is never a good idea and this requires periodic cleaning off and re-application. Note No. 16 has a boiler vent taken through the chimney breast. One wonders why the chimney could not be used. No. 28 has been re-roofed with unsightly ventilator tiles. These should be avoided with the use of breathable felt in future. Description - Originally constructed a The Girls' Hostel. However it was not popular with many single girls preferring to find digs in the Village. It was soon converted into a Bank with first floor Free Library and Training Centre. Recently it was used as the offices for Port Sunlight Village Trust from 1990 2006 prior to the opening of Sunlight Vision. The future of the building has not yet been determined. Ground floor masonry with protruding bays, and first floor in timber frame with a decorative pargetting plaster panel. Roof in rosemary clay tiles. Condition - good Risks - timber decay to timber frame and condition of gable roofs and timber porch to former doorways. Temporary felt has been used for part of the porch instead of lead. Corroding wrought iron decorative gate to one side. Some ferns growing from the face of the timber frame to the first bay above the bank. There is indication of timber decay and water staining. Investigation needed to the valley gutter. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 38 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

18. 67-79 Bebington Road Architect - Ernest Newton Date 1899 Description Long terrace of 7 No. houses broken up with 3 No. advancing wings with plain gables and intermediate dormer gables. Sandstone masonry to the ground floor and pebbledash render to the first floor with clay tiles to the roof and brick chimney stacks. The windows of the ground floor have stone lintols and cills and the windows to the first floor have timber surrounds. Interesting features of the property are the enclosed timber porches to the end properties of the block and the recessed central section with an over-sized stone porch covering the doors of properties 69 and 71. Condition Fair Risks - Property No. 67 some of the stonework needs to be replaced, as in many areas it is crumbing away this could possibly be due to an incorrect mortar being used to repoint the stonework, as there is some efflorescence Windows to the first floor of Nos. 63 and 67 need to be redecorated to prevent further decay. Nos. 75 and 77 require redecoration of the windows at the first floor level. Repointing of the stonework needed on the whole of the property and cleaning of the render to the first floor level. There are a few areas where slipped tiles need to be replaced. The chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed and trailing wires down the front of the properties need to be better fixed and hidden. Rear Elevation - Raking out and repointing of the chimney stacks. Many sky dishes, security lights, alarm boxes and trailing wires down the backs of the properties - which need to be better hidden. Back door to property No. 71 needs to be redecorated to prevent further decay. Brickwork to No. 73 needs to be raked out and repointed and some of the brickwork needs to be replaced where there has been frost action. Some missing/broken tiles need to be replaced on the roof. General consideration to the flashing, especially round the chimney stacks, which is quite complex and will need regular inspections. Property No. 57 appears to have had a small extension at the back of the property, but is in-keeping with the style of the property. 19. 23-35 Primrose Hill Architect - Ormrod and Pomeroy Date 1906 Description - Their only work in Port Sunlight Village. Perhaps it was too expensive for lever. Its design and detailing is most distinctive consisting of fairfaced brick lower walls with distinctive sloping bases to the ground floor bay windows. First floors consist of over-sailing bays with prominent half timbered gables and heavy section bargeboards. The lower roof section has a reduced pitch and the verges of the gables have been raised to give a quaint appearance. The upper walls are in a painted harling render. Chimney stacks are in a pebbledash render, and I suspect that this matched the upper walls but, for some reason, the chimneys have not been painted. Chimney caps are in fairfaced brick with a delicate stringcourse. Windows are timber casements with leaded lights. Entrance doors have distinctive decorative leaded lights to the upper panels in a Mackintosh style rose motive. Condition good Risks - The red clay plain tiles to the roofs require relaying in a number of places, particularly to the valley between Nos 23 and 25. The original cast iron guttering is a deep section half round profile but in places is either broken or missing. The gutter to No. 25 has sheared and requires urgent attention. The timber post adjacent to the entrance door of No. 27 is badly split and requires a strapping detail. This also applies to the post adjacent to the entrance of No. 33. Rear elevations lack the drama of the front façade and are in fairfaced brick with plain timber casement windows. Most of these appear original. To the centre of the rear elevation is a PVCu conservatory. Most of the soil pipes have been replaced with plastic. An existing soil pipe with distinctive top cap remains to the rear elevation of No. 23. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 39 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

20a. 57-65 Bebington Road Architect - William Owen Date 1899 Description - Central bay with flanking wings on either side in fairfaced brickwork. The central bay has the ground floor in brickwork with interesting buttressing detail. The first floor is in pebbledash render with dormer windows to the first floor. The central dormer and those on the flanking wings have semi-circular caps giving a faintly Queen Anne style. The roof is in clay tiles with brick chimney stacks. Condition Fair 20b. 1 Bolton Road Architect - William Owen Date 1890 (built). Risks Most brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. The windows to property no. 59 needs to be redecorated to prevent any further decay. First floor windows to properties No. 61 and 63 also need some repair and redecoration. The door on property no. 61 appears to have been replaced in a different style. Slipped tiles on the roof need to be replaced. Vegetation needs to be brushed off the roof and the chimney stacks of the central block. Trailing cables to the roof need to be clipped. Description - external walls in fairfaced red brickwork with stone dressings to openings. Decorative Dutch gable feature facing Greendale Road with LB for Lever Brothers, 1898. Roof in clay tile with leaded and tiled roofs to bay windows. Condition - good. Risks - shaling face to stone dressings. One brick with lost face to decorative gable. Poor replacement tiles to bay window facing Greendale Road. Poor condition of coping stones to wall on Greendale Road. 20c. 5-7 Bolton Road Architect - William Owen Date - 1890. Description - fairfaced brickwork to ground and first floors, with brick expressed bays to Bolton Road elevation. Decorative tile hung gables with central outlet. Clay tile roofs. Stone dressings above doors, and stone lintels / sills to bay windows. (Masonry painted). Condition - good Risks - no flashings above stone string courses / porch. Risk of water entry into fabric. Lead covered bays require inspection. Missing hung tiles to gables need replacement. 20d. 9-13 Bolton Road Architect - William Owen Date - c1890. Description - Terrace of 3 houses. External walls in fairfaced brick work but of asymmetric design with central pronounced bay to No.11. Clay tiles to roof with brick arches. Stone lintels to doors. Condition - good Risks - evidence of movement to the ground floor bay of No.11 requires investigation. Evidence of previous repair in this area points to a long-term problem.

20e. 17-21 Bolton Road (converted to six flats and maisonettes in 1942) Architect - William Owen Date - 1890 Description - ground floor walls fairfaced brickwork, with sandstone window surrounds. Decorative timber lintel and column create recessed porches at both ends of the terrace. First floor walls are rendered, with a mixture of sandstone and timber window surrounds. Gable ends, in pebble dash with timber window surrounds. Second floor within roof (which is undergoing reconstruction and will be tiled) has dormer windows with timber panelled facings. Chimneys in elaborate brickwork. Condition - currently under reconstruction. Risks - timber posts and lintels to end doors at risk if not well maintained. 20f. 61-69 Bolton Road See 20j 69 Corniche Road Architect - William Owen Date 1898 Description - Terrace of three cottages to Bolton Road with three further units stepped around the corner with Corniche Road similar to the treatment on most corners e.g. 8d & 9a. Brickwork plinth with pebbledash render to upper walls. Brick dressings to window surrounds, quoins to corners and to the gable ends. Distinctive leaded porches over front doors. The roof is in clay tiles and the chimneystacks are in fairfaced brickwork with diaper decoration. Condition Fair Risks Some brickwork needs to be raked out and re-pointed. Roof tiles need to be replaced where they have slipped. Cleaning off moss of vegetation to gable ends and on the chimneystacks is required. Alarm boxes, aerials and trailing wires on the fronts of the properties need to be better fixed. Rear Some raking out and repointing of the brickwork at the backs of the properties, especially brick heads to upper windows. Replacing of slipped tiles on the roof is necessary and raking out of vegetation, especially from the chimneystacks, is needed. Redecoration work is required to windows at the first floor level. Repointing and repair work to the back garden wall and outbuildings is needed. 20g. 8-12 Bolton Road Architect - William Owen Date 1899 Description - Plain brick terraced cottages, originally 6.no now converted into 3.no more spacious units. Large oversailing hipped clay tile roof conceals 3.no bracketed bay windows at the first floor. One of Owens plainer contributions to the village. Ground floor sash windows with twin pane lower sashes and 8 pane upper sashes. Ground floor windows have arched brick heads. First floor bays in 6 pane side hung casements. Plain brick chimney stacks with pots. These look to have been rebuilt recently. Any corbelling or decorative caps have not been replicated. The stacks will stain as a result. Condition Fair. Risks Some slipped tiles require repair. Unfortunate aerial fixed to the front bay of no.8 which is about the worst position! Some repointing needed to low level brickwork. Windows & doors all require redecoration. Original cast iron rainwater goods require redecoration. 20h. 22-42 Bolton Road Architect - William Owen Date 1896 Description - Fairfaced brickwork to the ground floor with timber panelling to the first floor. Tiling to the roof and Cedar shingles to the central bay gable ends. Wings to either side of the central bay with decorative date and lettering to the gable end and clay tile detail.

Chimney stack in brick with diamond orientated chimney stacks to add further details. Shallow bay and larger bay windows to add to elevational detail. Carved sandstone lintols and corbels. Condition - Fair to Good Risks Some re-pointing required to ground floor brickwork. Most windows in good condition. Redecoration needed to some windows and to the timber frame and render panels. Property No. 38 requires some repair work to the window frames where there has been rot. Repair also needed for the carved fascia boards of the gable ends to no.38. Trailing wires down the roofs and the fronts of all the properties need to be better fixed and there are obvious alarm boxes which need to be more subtle. 20i. 1-5 Corniche Road Architect - William Owen (probably by both William & Segar Owen) Date 1898 See Properties 21i on Chester Road which are part of the same block and are consistent in features & construction. I suspect that these were all built at the same time and were by William & Segar Owen. 20j. 69 Corniche Road See 20f 61-69 Bolton Road which are part of the same corner block. 20k. 71-74 Greendale Road Architect - William Owen Date - 1891 Description - Block of 4 terraced houses. Design much as 21F. Again, central tile hung gable and stone porch roofs. Condition - good. Risks - decay to timber work on central gable, first floor. Suspected decay to ground floor gable of No.72. Missing original foot scraper to No.72. Slipped tiles to roof need replacing. Notes - cracked and damaged concrete paving to the front of No.72. Damaged brickwork due to chemical DPC injections. Particularly unsightly to No.73. 20l. 75-78 Greendale Road Architect - William Owen Date - 1891. Description - Block of 4 terraced houses.

Missing foot scraper to No.76. Missing clay tiles particularly to gable of No. 79. Usual unsightly aerials and cables require clipping and obsolete fillings to be removed. Lead roofing to bay windows needs inspections. 20m. 89-92 Greendale Road Architect - William Owen Date 1894 Description - Terrace of 4 houses with three floors, consisting of two main floors and one attic storey. Brickwork to ground floor with render and decorative detailing to first floor. Distinctive oval windows above entrance doors. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 42 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Clay tile roof. Paving in front of Nos. 89-91 is in tamped concrete which is ugly. The remainder of the paving is also in concrete panels, crudely applied, with weeds around the edge. I would suggest that the hard surfacing is relaid in flag paving. Condition - poor Risks Missing/slipped tiles to roof generally need repair. Timber decay to cills of bay windows and decay to eastern most ground floor bay window. Re-pointing to chimneys required. Some aerials to rear require better fixing. 20n. 170-176 New Chester Road Architect - William Owen Date 1900 Description - Block of 4.no cottages with recessed central range flanked by outer advancing wings with gables at rightangles to the main façade, creating a recessed court effect.

Unusual stepped gables with stone copings to side elevations flanking the brick & render chimneys. Timber windows with distinctive shallow bays and dentil mouldings to hood. Roofs in red clay tile. Rear elevations are a complete contrast with smooth plain brickwork and pointed gables. Condition Fair to good. Risks First floor windows to 172 & 176 appear to have lost some window bars and have a strange thirties horizontal emphasis. I suspect these are replacements which have economised by reducing the number of panes. Moss growth to roof tiles to be brushed off. Upstand gutters between the central & side roofs needs to be regularly inspected. Rear - Brickwork to the back of the property needs raking out and re-pointing. Windows need to be re-decorated. Roof in generally good condition. A few slipped tiles to be replaced. Outbuildings at the back of the properties are in poor condition and need much attention, including re-pointing and re-roofing/major roof repairs. 20o. 250-254 New Chester Road Architect - William Owen Date 1898 (built) Description Fairfaced brickwork to the ground floor and painted render to the first floor. Roof in clay tiles. Brick chimneystacks and clay chimney pots. Downpipes running down the front of the building with hoppers that state the date 1896. Condition Fair Risks some repointing recently done but some still needed. Damp under the sill of property 252 needs investigation. Windows to first floor level need to be redecorated/repaired and the roof needs to be brushed off. Wires down the fronts of the properties and alarm boxes to be fixed neatly. Rear - Some raking out and repointing of the brickwork at the ground floor level is required. Redecoration to render work needed. Roof is in reasonably good condition with only a few slipped and broken tiles which need to be replaced. No. 250 has a conservatory. Chimneystacks need to be raked out and vegetation removed and repointed. Property 252 also has a small porch or conservatory to the back of the property. Windows at the first floor level need to be repaired and redecorated generally. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 43 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Render work needs to be redecorated and the windows also need to be redecorated to prevent any further rot. Slipped tiles on the roof need to be replaced and the brick chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed. Concrete in-situ slabs to the front doors are unsightly. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 44 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Rear Elevation - Raking out of the brickwork at the back of the property and repointing is required. Redecoration of the render and cleaning of the roof. The brick chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed and the dormer windows need to be repaired/redecorated. General Comment for the whole of the back of New Chester Road in this section is for the garden walls & outbuildings to be raked out and repointed. Repair works to the roofs of the outbuildings are also required. 20s. 1-7 Park Road Architect - William Owen Date - 1892 Description - brickwork to ground floor level with timber surrounds to windows and stone lintel. Sandstone sills and lintels to doors. Large timber columns and timber beam support the first floor at both ends of the terrace. Mixture of render and timber framing with infill panels to first floor.

Add jettied timber frame with prominent gables to front elevation. Condition - Fair to poor. Risks - Repointing work required to some of the brickwork on the first floor. Timber window framing and timber supports require repair/redecoration. Some decay to some of the supporting beams needs investigation. Panels generally need repair and redecorating. Roof in fair condition but with some slipped tiles which need replacing. Some of the gargoyles on the gable end have been damaged and may need some repair works. Obvious aerials, trailing wires and alarm systems detract from appearance. Raking out of vegetation on the roofs and chimneys. Path to the front of the property currently in concrete need replacing in a more suitable material. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 45 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Rear - No.9 PVCu windows to ground floor. Some slipped slates to the gable ends at the back of these properties need to be replaced. General cleaning and pointing/repair work needed. Satellite dishes, trailing wires and more alarm boxes to the back of the properties look unsightly. 20u. 2-4 Park Road Architect -2-4 Park Road by William Owen Date - 1894 Description - Block of 2 picturesque cottage block to end of Park Road overlooking The Dell. Fairfaced brickwork lower course with half timbered upper course with oversailing gables and jettied upper floor.

Risks - some growth to the chimney of No.2 requiring raking out and repointing. Moss growth to plain clay tiles to No.4 requiring cleaning out. Clearing out of gutters generally. Note UPVC gutter and downpipe to No.2. 20v. 6-12 Park Road Architect - William Owen Date 1894 Description - Linear terrace block of 4 cottage style houses with half timber first floor with jettied first floor and gables. 2 end houses have fairfaced brick to ground and first floors, with 2 smaller gables and plain rendered panels. Roofing in plain clay tiles with cast iron rainwater goods. Chimneys in fairfaced brickwork with corbelled caps and circular beehive type pots. Condition - No.6 and No.8 fair, No.10-12 good. Risks - Chimney stacks require raking out with removal of plant growth and repointing in lime mortar. Redundant aerials to be removed, particularly to No.10. Usual loose trailing cables requiring clipping particularly to No.8 and No.10. Condition of first floor bay to No.8 particularly poor. Redecoration to first floor windows of No.6 required. Some slipped / missing tiles but roof generally in good order. Note some decayed / weathered bricks to the elevations of No.6. Cement mortar could have been used causing the soft Cheshire reds to lose their faces. Blocked valley to No.6 also requires clearing out. Rear elevations are in fairfaced brick with 2 decorative gables to the central houses. Satellite dishes have been installed to the rear of No.8 and No.10. Condition of first floor windows to No.6, 8, and 10 in poor condition. Particularly first floor to No.6 with rotten sill and frame. Note missing hip tile above No.6. 20w. 14-22 Park Road Architect - William Owen Date - 1893 Description - Terrace of 5 houses. Linear terrace with 3 houses in fairfaced brickwork to ground and first floors with decorative plaster panels and 2 no. central houses with fairfaced brick to ground floors and first floor half timber work with decorative gables. Note No.14 has a differing gable to the others with vertical tile hanging. It almost appears that No.16-22 were designed symmetrically and No.14 added on. Particularly fine carving to decorative barge boards to major and minor gables. Roofs in plain clay tiles. Chimneys with fairfaced brick stacks, corbelled string course and corbelled cap. Squat circular round pots. Rainwater goods in cast iron with decorative strap fixings. Note, foot scrapers to entrance doors. Condition - No.14-18 good, No.20-22 fair to poor.

Description - Terrace of 5 houses. Picturesque terrace with three central houses having prominent Dutch style gable elevations in decorative brickwork with recessed and expressed panels. Two end terraces are in a cottage style with fairfaced brickwork to ground floors and differing first floors. No.36 has rendered masonry while No.28 has decorative half timbering in a Cheshire square frame style. The two end terraces also have decorative bay windows with terracotta tracery panels and an egg and dart motif. Intermediate terraces have both brick and terracotta dressings to windows and doors and stone bracketed porches. Copings to the Dutch gables are in brick on edge. Decorative chimneys have multi-faceted angles with odd chutes reminiscent of church roofs. These apparently serve no purpose other than being decorative. Roofs are in plain clay tile. Condition - good. No.28 Fair to poor. Risks - Timber decay to gable and bargeboard to No.28 together with decay /peeling paint to windows of particular concern. Plant growth to chimneys is particularly bad. These require raking out with removal of plant growth and repointing as necessary. Several gables also have plant growth which is a risk with brick copings. Chimneys have differing pots. Some brickwork requires raking out and repointing, particularly to the upper sting course above No.30. Tiled buttress to No.30 also requires repair. Several broken / missing tiles require replacement. Timber posts and lintels to the corners of the 2 end properties are particularly noteworthy but could cause difficulties. Some distress apparent to upper brickwork and walling of No.28. These beams may require hidden strengthening. Gable and casement windows to No.28 require redecoration. 3 stone porches appear to have no lead covering. These require protection. 20y. 2-4 Primrose Hill See 21c 2-16 Circular Drive Architect - William Owen Date - 1899 Description See 21c which is part of the same block.

Risks - missing / slipped tiles particularly to No.1 and No.3. Missing brick above porch to No.3. Broken guttering to No.3. Note guttering and rainwater goods require redecoration generally. Raking and repointing to central chimney stack. Rear elevation consists of 4 gables with vertical tile hanging above brick fairfaced elevations and brick rolled string course. Note all rear windows to No.7 Wood Street are in PVCu. Rear windows to No.1 require redecoration. Sill to 1 window appears rotten. Central hopper and downpipe are in plastic and not cast iron. Damaged / missing clay tiles require replacement. Roof and valleys above No.1 and No.3 particularly poor. 20 Gladstone Hall (now Gladstone Theatre) Architect - William Owen Date 1891 The building takes its name from William Gladstone who was invited to open the building on 28 November 1891. This building was originally the men s dining hall for the adjacent factory prior to the construction of on-site facilities. It acted as a partner to Hulme Hall, which provided dining facilities for the ladies. It was quite common at that time for the sexes to be segregated, as many of the female workers were single and could not be chaperoned. The building is constructed in a more free arts and crafts style with the main auditorium and stage volumes in a half timbered superstructure with clay plain tiles to the roof and tile hung gables. Lower wall sections are in an English bond smooth Cheshire red facing brick. One of the principal entrances on the west side has a two-storey porch with a half timbered superstructure very much in the Cheshire timber frame tradition and a beautiful pair of entrance doors with a four centred arch to the head and decorative strap hinges. The current main entrance is to the north elevation, accessed by a well designed semi-circular ramp with well railings and balustrades in an arts and crafts style. The north elevation onto Greendale Road is surprisingly plain and is only relieved by 3 No. plain gables which help funnel rainwater to lead lined hoppers and external cast iron downpipes. The building has a utilitarian grace about it and is plain compared to some of the houses adjacent. It was admired by Lever for its economy. He was critical of the comparative cost of Hulme Hall (though the latter is almost twice the size of the Gladstone Hall). 21a. 64-78 Bolton Road Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1912 Description - Brickwork plinths to lower walls with pebbledash to the upper floors. Clay tiled roof with tall brick chimney stacks. Brick bay windows and protruding dormer windows make this building distinctive. Condition Fair Risks - Some brickwork cills needs to be raked out and repointed, especially on the and needs of the first floor windows. Missing/slipped tiles to be replaced. The flashing at the base of the dormer windows on property No. 66 and 72 require some repair work. The brick chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed and vegetation needs to be removed. Alarm box to property No. 68 detracts from the overall appearance and would benefit from being better hidden. Downpipes, especially on property No. 76, and the guttering need to be replaced as they are in poor condition. No. 66 has over sailing canopy without a post support. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 48 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Rear Elevation - Raking out and repointing of the brickwork at the back of the properties, also raking out and repointing of the outbuildings and back garden wall. Repair and redecoration of all windows needed. Property No. 72 has PVCu windows to the ground and first floor and property No. 70 has windows of a different style to those in the other properties. 21b. 5-7 The Causeway 21c. 2-16 Circular Drive See 20u 2-4 Primrose Hill See 21e 1-5 Church Drive which forms part of the same corner block. Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1899 Description - Terrace of 8 No. houses to the corner of Circular Drive with Primrose Hill. Traditional cottage vernacular with fairfaced brick lower walls and rendered upper walls, together with rendered gables. Some tile hanging to the north end appears to be a recent replacement. The appearance is rather plain, but embellishments consisting of diaper burnt headers and a cranked chimney to the north end of the terrace are a noteworthy features. A further interesting feature are the extremely deep brick voissoirs to the ground floor windows and doors lintols which are 5 No. courses high. Condition good Risks - 1 No. chimney to No. 8 Circular Drive requires repointing. There are missing pots to most of the chimney stacks. The original pots to No. 12, 14 and 16 appear to be low circular pots which have been replaced in some cases by raised pots, presumably to improve the draught. Some plant growth to No. 10 s chimney. Some bricks have begun to shale to the lower walls of No. 2 Primrose Hill presumably due to an over-hard mortar. There is also evidence that the lintol to the ground floor window of No. 2 Primrose Hill requires strengthening / inspection. Chimneys require repointing and windows generally require redecoration. 21d. 28-38 Circular Drive 21e. 1-5 Church Drive See 21j 1-7 Pool Bank which are part of the same corner block. Architect - William and Segar Owen Date - 1901 Description - Corner block skilfully taken round the corner with an advancing bay on the diagonal. Shallow pitched low gables help articulate the elevation. Ground floor of properties in brickwork with stone surrounds to the windows, stone buttressing to some of the walls and stone lintels to the doors. First floor in rendered pebbledash with timber surrounds to the windows and some quirky bays to either side of the front facing gables. Gable ends to No.2 and No.5 have porches from the oversailing roof which are supported on wide timber columns. On the ground floors between No. 3 and 4 is a large double bay window. The roof is in clay tiles with brick chimney stacks and clay chimney pots. Condition - Fair to poor. Risks - Timber posts need to be regularly inspected. No.3 needs some repair and repointing work to the brickwork at the ground floor level. Flashing of the bay window to No. 3 and 4 needs repairs. No.4 also has decayed windows. These need to be repaired and redecorated. Repointing work needs to be carried out on the brickwork of No.4. Some tile slippage on No.4 roof needs to be replaced. No.5 needs to be repointed at the ground floor level. Repair and redecoration works need to be carried out to the main windows on the ground floor level and to the bay window on the first floor level. The roof appears to be in fair condition over No.5. There are also a large number of aerials and wires trailing down the roof and down the fronts of the buildings which look unsightly. Path to the front of the property is in concrete and is ugly. Some vegetation also growing on the chimney pots needs to be removed. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 49 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Rear elevations - No.4 and No.5 both have replacement PVCu windows on the ground floor level. No.4 has replacement PVCu windows in the first floor level and No. 1-3 have replacement PVCu windows in the ground floor level. None of these are in keeping with the original design. The roof is in fair condition with some slipped slates. These need to be replaced. The chimneystacks have much vegetation on them, which will need to be raked out. There are many burglar alarms, aerials and wires that look unsightly. 21f. 79-82 Greendale Road Architect - William and Segar Owen Date - 1891. Description - Block of 3 terraced houses. Ground and first floor walls in fairfaced Cheshire red brickwork with stone lintels to windows and doors, and heavy stone porches with brackets. Distinctive central bay between Nos: 80 and 81 with decorative tile hung gable and apron. Clay tile roof with cast iron guttering. Condition - good. Risks - broken stone piece above both porches appears to be allowing water into the structure. There appears to be no adequate covering or flashing to the stone porches. External doors require redecoration. Note the paths and steps in front of the properties are in fairfaced concrete panels, as elsewhere. Recommend more appropriate paving to be used. 21g. 2-10 Lodge Lane with 21h 212-216 New Chester Road Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1900 Fairfaced brickwork to lower walls with red clay tile hanging to upper walls and roof. Main elevations have diaper brickwork with render panels. Arched brick lintols to lower windows with recessed timber units. Tile hanging to gables. Brick chimneys with simple corbelled detailing to caps. Combination of different pots with some missing. Rear elevations largely in brick with some render to gables and tile hanging. Condition Good Rear - Brickwork needs to be raked out and re-pointed in some areas. No. 212 has had some additional plastering. The windows to the first floor level have become rotten and need to be replaced. Generally windows need to be re-painted and re-decorated to prevent further decay. The roof is in generally good condition. Needs some removal of vegetation. Back garden wall of the property is in poor condition. The mortar needs to be raked out and re-pointed. There has also been some frost action on the bricks and these need to be replaced. There have been some unsuitable attempts to re-patch the wall with concrete. Windows at the back of property No. 14, are in poor condition and need to be replaced. 21h. 212-216 New Chester Road 21I. 218-222 New Chester Road See 21g 2-10 Lodge Lane which are part of the same corner block. Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1899 Description Similar design to 20i 1-5 Corniche Road and probably built together. Fairfaced brickwork to the ground floor level and render to the first floor level. Red brick dressings to dormer windows and decorative diamond patterning in brick on render. Brick around openings to doors and windows including the first floor dormers which is unusual. Roof in clay tiles with brick chimneystacks Condition good Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 50 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks Areas of raking and repointing to brickwork needed. Windows require redecoration. Raking out of hoppers is necessary to remove vegetation. Alarm boxes and trailing wires on the fronts of the property need to be better fixed. Rear of the property Some brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. Slipped tiles need to be replaced. Windows to the majority of the properties need to be repaired and redecorated. No. 220 has PVCu conservatory and PVCu first floor window. Raking out and repointing of the back garden wall is necessary and repair work to the roofs of the outbuildings. 21j. 1-7 Pool Bank See 21d 28-38 Circular Drive Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1899 Description Part of corner block with 21d. Ground floor of the property in fairfaced brickwork with brick lintels and cills to the doors and windows. Imposing stone and render corner pavilion set on blue diagonal to turn the corner. This block also has stone mullions and intricate corbelled brackets to the corners. Fine detailing to the chimney stacks. Render to the first floor of the property with clay roof tiles.

Frost action to some of the bricks. These will need to be replaced. Windows to property no. 5; there is some decay, especially on the first floor level. This needs to be replaced. Internal valley gutter between No. s 5 & 7 will always need regular inspections. Property No. 36 looks to have some decay to the first floor window which may need to be replaced. First floor walling has been replaced with new clay tile, but not well done and the tiles are already slipping in some areas. There are some slipped tiles on the roof. These will need to be replaced. Vegetation growth on the roof and chimneys will need to be removed. The roof generally needs cleaning, as do the chimney stacks which also need raking out/ repointing. Aerials to the chimney stacks and burglar alarms to the front of the properties need to better fixed. Paths are in concrete and ugly. 21k. 1-7 Water Street Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1912 Description Low brick plinths with render to upper walls. Brick surrounds to the windows with cills and lintols in brick. Clay tiled roof and tall brick chimney stacks. With characteristic splayed shafts in a mock Tudor style. Property No. 3 has a double bay window and gable end, which are both clad in clap boarding. Sliding sash windows to rear. Condition Fair Risks - Some brickwork at the ground floor level and of the window and door surrounds needs to be raked out and repointed. Leading flashing above the windows and doors of the ground floor level needs to be inspected. Timber boarding to No. 3 in good condition. Generally windows at the first floor level need to be redecorated to prevent decay. Brick chimney stacks need to be raked out repointed and vegetation needs to be removed. Rear - Some raking out and repointing of the brickwork at the back of the properties, at the back garden wall and on the outbuildings. Redecoration of the windows at the backs of the properties to prevent decay. Unsightly alarm boxes and trailing wires down the backs of the properties. These would benefit from being better hidden. No. 5 has had new casement windows installed. They do not match to original sliding sash. The brick sills have been lost and need reinstating. 1 No. inappropriate window also to No. 3 rear.

21l. 9-21 Water Street Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1912 Description - Similar to 21k low brick plinth with render to upper walls and first floor brick dressings. A combination of brick surrounds and timber surrounds to the windows with a clay tiled roof and tall brick chimney stacks with usual Owen style splayed shafts in mock Tudor. The end bay is for two properties with a recessed porch supported on timber beams and columns. The central bay is slightly recessed with a clay tiled porch to No.s 13-17. Condition Fair 21 Christ Church Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1902-1904 Risks - Brickwork around the windows of property Nos. 17, 15 & 13 require to be raked out and repointed. Windows of these properties need some repair and redecoration work to prevent from further decay. There are also alarm boxes, trailing wires down the fronts of these properties which need to be better fixed and more suitably hidden. There is also a lot of vegetation in the guttering which needs to be removed. Replacement of loose tiles on the roof and on the porch is required. Guttering to No. 17 is in poor condition and needs to be repaired and redecorated. Regular inspections is required to the brick columns and beams on properties no. 11, 19 & 21. Brick chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed and all vegetation removed. They are a unique feature of the property. Concrete paving is unsightly. Rear Elevation - Some raking out and repointing of the brickwork to the backs of the properties, to the garden wall and to the outbuildings is required. General redecoration work to the windows to prevent from decay. Alarm boxes and trailing wires down the backs of the properties need to be better fixed. Property No. 15 has had inappropriate casements filled and has lost the original sash windows. Originally conceived as non-denominational with services held by several denominations. However it came under the guardianship of the Congregational Church and latterly the United reformed Church. It originally seated 1000 people and is one of the largest church buildings in Cheshire. The Church is built in an attractive Cheshire red sandstone and is cruciform in plan with a central nave and north and south side aisles. The axis is true east to west, but strangely the Church Tower, with a full peel of bells, is located to the south side of the Chancel at the east end of the building. At the west end there is an entrance porch on the south elevation. To the west elevation is an open loggia with the tombs of Lord Leverhulme and his wife. The bronzes are by Goscombe John who also sculpted the War Memorial to The Diamond. In front of the recumbent figures there is a bronze of a girl and younger child (presumed a boy) with a wreath of flowers. The Church is in a later perpendicular gothic style but with arts and crafts influences, particularly to the sloping buttresses to the north and south aisles and the smooth flowing tracery to the windows. The principal doors to the north and south porches and the high level clerestory windows to the Nave have shallow arched openings. The low level windows to the side aisles are square headed with cupped recesses. The windows to the Chancel and Transept have a more pointed profile to the windows and more decorative stained glass and leadwork generally. A blank arch above the north aisle suggests that the building may have been constructed in phases and a more substantial structure planned to the north side. The building is roofed in a stone flag and rainwater goods are a combination of lead and cast iron. Gutters and some downpipes are in cast iron while custom made sections of downpipe and hoppers are in leadwork. The cast iron elements are becoming severely corroded and require redecoration. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 52 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

The west side of the north porch is heavily stained from water ingress and efflorescent salts. There is a severe risk of damage which requires immediate attention. The building is beautifully detailed and finished and has a rather dumpy appearance arising from the squat east tower and the heavy and low buttresses to the side aisles. At the east end there is an apse with 5 No. stained glass windows around the altar and reredos. The area to the south side of the Church has been kept free from burials. Adjacent to the south door and porch there is a beautifully detailed timbered Lychgate, again with matching stone to the plinth and heavily carved oak superstructure. Presumably this is also by the Owens. The quality of stonework to the west porch and the Leverhulme Tomb is extremely high with beautiful carved tracery. The west window is particularly large with 2 No. integral buttresses within the tracery, presumably required because of the overall size. 21 Port Sunlight Fire Station Architect - William and Segar Owen Date - 1902. Description - Angled plan with two-storey accommodation block and single storey engine garage with period glazed doors and Fire Engine Station signboard above. Fairfaced brick with stone dressings to doors and windows with a decorative diamond pattern brickwork to upper brickwork panel below eaves. The entrance to the former engine shed is constructed in timber glazed door panels. A later addition with double height roller shutter door has been added to the east elevation. The use of the present building appears to be commercial offices. Rainwater goods are in cast iron with one of the small gables faced in timber shingles. Part of the flat roof section is in felt to the west end. Condition - good. 21 Hulme Hall Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1901 Risks - inappropriate extension to east elevation, circa 1950. Damage from freeze/thaw action to exposed bricks on buttress to west end. Felt roof to west end vulnerable to failure. Decoration to former garage doors required. Rear elevation into courtyard has a flat roofed extension, again with felt covering, which should be monitored. Note two period ventilators to the flat roof. These are particularly noteworthy and a rare survivor. The frontage to the building would benefit from the removal of the later tarmacadam surface (laid by Wirral MBC) and for the underlying granite setts/ cobbles to be restored. Condition Good Hulme Hall was originally built by William Hesketh Lever as the Ladies Dining Hall for workers at his factory. It consists of an H shaped plan with 3 No. large volumes consisting of end wings with decorative gables and a central cross wing with 3 No. side gables facing Bolton Road. The building gives the appearance of symmetry, but the entrance elevation has asymmetric elements with different treatment to the entrance lobbies at either side of the large side wings, and different treatment to the bay windows on the front elevation. The materials in the construction are of very high quality consisting of a buff sandstone to cills, quoins and window dressings with a fairfaced Cheshire red brick to infill panels. The roof has been recently re-laid in green Westmorland slate in diminished courses as used in the original construction. Gables are half timbered and barge boards are beautifully carved. However the North wing on the Bolton Road facade has lost its decorative barge board and this has been replaced in plain wood. Otherwise the building is in excellent condition and has been sympathetically maintained and restored. Original cast iron decorative rainwater goods compliment the elevations. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 53 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Some rear elevations have diaper decoration to brickwork. Re-pointing has been very messily done. One of the rear courtyard walls to the north-west corner shows signs of settlement despite recent repointing. This needs investigation and possible underpinning. The rear elevation is plainer than the main frontage onto Bolton Road, but no less pleasing. The bricks are very slim & almost dutch in proportion. Some of these have begun to spall and require replacement. These should be done carefully in matching bricks, either specially manufactured or rubbed down to size. A crude ramp has been constructed to the rear of the building and the metal handrail is in poor condition. The ramp has begun to deteriorate with frost thaw action to brickwork. A new ramp is needed with a clear gap away from the rear of the building structure. One of the stone lintols to a rear basement opening is delaminating. This may require cutting back and re-facing. The rear escape steps in stone are also delaminating and may require re-facing. Access issues may require the escapes to be re-configured. On the south elevation to the side some of the stone plinth units have begun to deteriorate, particularly towards the south-west corner and these require urgent attention. Areas of re-pointing on the south side have been poorly applied with inconsistent colour and application. Some areas of recessed joints have been left, particularly to the buttresses and the end panel of brickwork to the south-east corner. 21 Lady Lever Art Gallery Architect - William and Segar Owen Date 1922 This is the most prominent building within Port Sunlight, situated as it is at the western end of the long axis to The Diamond. It was completed shortly after the death of Lady Lever and before Sir William Hesketh Lever was ennobled and became Viscount Leverhulme. For this reason it is named as the Lady Lever Art Gallery and not the Lady Leverhulme. The building is constructed in a white Portland stone which contrasts with the red sandstone used on Christ Church and other areas around the Village and the honey coloured sandstone used on the ornate elevation to Lever House. It is the only limestone building within the Village and this gives it a somewhat funereal air. The plan is crucifix in form with an extended east-west axis with porticos to either end and shorter truncated north-west wings with ornate recessed porticos (in antis) with ionic order capitals. Apart from the recessed porticos there is very little decoration on the building and large parts of the external masonry walls are in a smooth ashlar block. The building has a similar gravitas to St Georges Hall in Central Liverpool, which is in a similar reduced classicism. At roof level the building is made more lively by two rotundas with circular rooflights above. These are located above the principal galleries on the east-west axis. The north elevation and portico is not used. To either side of the portico there are windows with highly carved surrounds surmounted by a richly carved head piece with a central urn, perhaps indicating the museum and its antiquities with symbols to either side consisting of triumphal torches, Greek dramatic masks and a cockerel and owl (to the east side). To the west side of the north porch a similar Grecian urn is used as a centrepiece and musical instruments of various kinds are used to support the centrepiece. The west end and portico is a mirror image of the east end over-looking The Diamond. However, this is also not used currently and is positioned strangely at odds with the adjacent highway. As such, the building appears to have been parked and is a further indication of the later imposition of The Diamond and its formal axial arrangement on the existing layout of the Village. There are some mature sycamores within the pavement adjacent to the west end and care should be taken to ensure that these mature trees do not damage the existing listed structure. In several places at high level there are plant growths on the cornices around the building. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 54 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

The perimeter of the site to the north, west and south sides is formed in cast iron railings with Grecian style posts with a fluted shaft surmounted by a memorial urn. The railings are a rare and beautiful survivor and are a significant part of the building and its setting. The south elevation and portico differs from the north. Here the recessed porch has been filled in and the columns (similar ionic order) are only 4 No. and acting as pilasters. The central door is framed to either side by decorative window openings with ornate caps and bracketed jambs. On either side of the portico there are further ornate windows with decorative carving in a similar style to the north elevation. This elevation also has a distinctive memorial on the axis of the portico and the adjacent road Windy Bank. This is Lord Leverhulme's memorial constructed in a smooth fluted polished granite. Adjacent is a bronze of four standing figures by Reid Dick dated 1930. The memorial and figures all form an important setting to the Art Gallery. Unfortunately the South elevation appears to be the principal place for coach parking for visitors to the Gallery and Port Sunlight. This does obscure this important elevation and the composition of the Art Gallery and memorial together. The carving to either side of the south portico, surmounting the window openings is as follows: To the west window there is a Grecian style urn and to either side various artefacts, antiquities and statuary with a coin and a standing figure (possibly Britannia?) a Trident, a laurel wreath, a broken ionic capital and two further urns. The whole is surmounted by a figure of a standing infant alongside a lion. To the east side of the south portico the statuary consists of a simplified urn with swaged drapes surmounted by a burning flame. To either side there is a similar composition of various musical instruments including violin, horn, pipes, drums and loot. There is access on the south side of the building into the undercroft and basement via a shallow ramp running from the east end of the building along the south side. This work is fairly recently in date and appears to have been sensitively achieved by using the existing planting on the south elevation to mask the intrusion of the new entrance. Note that the planting along the north and south sides is a distinctive part of the setting of the existing building and this greatly helps to soften the otherwise austere plain limestone façade. Boxed yew hedging to either side of the east elevation is particularly attractive. The principal entrance into the gallery is on the east side overlooking The Diamond and the central war memorial. This is formed in a similar ionic order set within a recessed portico. Above the east and west elevations the plain parapet is broken up with three panels of carved stone balusters which help to relieve the austerity. The impact of the building is principally in the effect that it has on the setting of Port Sunlight and the dramatic setting to The Diamond. It is a remarkable civic space which is so unexpected within the setting of the Arts & Crafts style village. The building has to be considered in conjunction with The Diamond, the War Memorial and the triumphal arch at the east end of the axis. 22. 54-58 Greendale Road Architect - Payne and Bleese Date 1901 Description - Terrace of 5 houses. External walls in fairfaced decorative red brickwork with particularly fine brick tracery to casement windows. Arched heads to the doors. Decorative rainwater hoppers with floral lugs are attractive. The central three houses have gables with parapets, and presumably internal valleys behind, requiring regular maintenance. The two end properties also have parapet gutters with a particularly fine long hopper box to avoid the downpipe passing through the front door. Diamond patterned brickwork in overburnt headers is a feature. Condition - good. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 55 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - there is evidence of subsidence / settlement between Nos: 56 and 57 which has distorted both doors and the ground floor window to No.56. This movement should be monitored, however, I note that along this section of Greendale Road, there are many trees with high water demand, and one tree is in front of the door of No. 57 and may be contributing. Note, missing gutter to roof and valley above No. 55. Roofs are in slate with secret hips soakers. Ridges are in terracotta clay and the chimneys are formed with diagonal ends, which is most unusual. The rear of the properties are in good condition. Some patches of pointing are required on the back garden wall to the block. 23a. 43-47 Corniche Road Architect - T.T Rees Date 1899 Description Sandstone plinth to the lower walls with brickwork up to first floor level. Smooth painted stucco render to the first floor walls. Roof in clay tile. Door with sandstone lintel and timber porches. Chimneystacks in brick with clay chimney pots. Timber casement windows with divided panes to top panels. Forward facing gables with oversailing bargeboards covering timber-segmented bays with timber brackets. Condition Fair Risks - Corrosion of the sandstone at the ground floor level has occurred. This may be due to frost action or may be due to the incorrect type of cement mortar being used. This will need to be raked out, repaired and repointed. Some brickwork to the ground floor needs to be raked out and repointed. Render work is in good condition with small patches of redecoration required. Timber facia boarding to the roof needs to be redecorated to prevent any decay. Slipped tiles on the roof need to be replaced. Chimney stacks needs to be raked out and repointed. First floor windows to all the properties need to be redecorated. Property 43 has a different door to the other properties in the row. Note that internal valleys will always need regular inspections and maintenance. Rear of the Property - Brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. Windows, need to be repaired and redecorated. Chimneystacks need to be raked out and repointed and the back garden wall and outhouses need some attention and repair. Visual trailing wires and aerials need better fixing. 23b. 306-308 New Chester Road Architect - T.T Rees Date 1899 Description - Usual asymmetric semi-detached block with 308 further forward. Brickwork to ground and first floor with interesting detail o gable ends of the property in embossed brickwork. Windows with timber surrounds and brick lintols. Roof in clay tiles with brick chimney stack. Porch and first floor over the entrance area of 308 is in timber frame. Well detailed brickwork with changes in depth to plinth, stringcourse and gable treatment. Condition Fair Risks - Some brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. The roof needs moss to be brushed off. The chimneystacks need to be raked out and repointed especially to curved stack detail to 306. The windows of the properties need to be redecorated to prevent any decay. The PVCu windows down the side of the property to No. 308 are not in-keeping. Rear Elevation - Some areas of the brickwork require repointing and the roof requires to be brushed off and slipped tiles to be replaced. Some decay noted to first floor windows of 308.

Dutch style gable with whitewashed render. Ground floor sliding sash windows. Colonnade in decorative ironwork with segmental columns and finely detailed upper panels. Condition Fair, Property No. 23 is poor. Risks - Dormer windows to the first floor are in poor condition and all need some attention particularly to the lead flashings. Dormer windows above property No. 23 are in very poor condition. These need to be re-decorated and repair urgently slipped/ missing tiles need repair. Extensive tab repairs may justify re-roofing. The fascia board is in poor condition and may need to be replaced. The entrance colonnade will need to be regularly inspected to prevent decay. Some of the chimney pots have vegetation, this needs to be removed. There is an array of aerials, sky dishes and trailing wires down the front of the properties. These need to be better hidden. Concrete paths to the property are unsightly. 25a. 60-62 Bolton Road Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1913 Complicated recessed corner block to Bolton Road with The Ginnel and Water Street.

Some first floors oversailing onto timber colonnades. Together with 25i this forms a long sinuous terrace of 12 no. cottages. Condition Fair Risks - Brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. Render needs to be repainted. Windows need to be redecorated to prevent decay. Brick chimney stacks need to be raked out repointed. Timber colonnade needs regular inspections. Rear - Render work needs to be redecorated. Roof tiles where they have slipped need to be replaced. Brick chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed. Windows need to be redecorated to prevent decay. Back garden wall needs to be raked out and repointed. 25i. 7-23 The Ginnel Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date - 1914 See 25h above. Description - Brickwork to the ground floor, pebbledash render to the first floor. Clay tiles to the roof and brick chimney stacks. Windows with wooden timber surrounds and interesting motifs to the gable ends of some of the properties. Tile hanging to some gables. However this block is more classical with pedimented gables and decorative plasterwork especially to No. 9: No. 7 has a pretty first floor bay window with ogee bracket and concave roof in a beaux arts style. Condition Fair Risks - Some brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed in some areas. Flashing above bay window on property No. 7 needs to be repaired. First floor windows on property No. 9 need to be redecorated to prevent any further decay. Slipped tiles need to be replaced on the roof. Chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed. Loose wires and alarm boxes down the front of the properties need to be better fixed and disguised. Flashing over the porches of property Nos. 13, 15, 17, 19 & 21 need to be repaired and for the majority replaced, as they are in poor condition. Brickwork to property no. 17 and 19 needs to be raked out and repointed. Vegetation needs to be removed from the guttering. Bracketed surrounds to first floor windows also faintly classical. Flat porches to entrance doors suspended by decorative iron tension rods and ornate scroll fixing plates. No. 23 has attractive oversailing hipped gable with double height bay below. Alarm boxes need to be better hidden from the fronts of the properties, cobalt blue decorative paintwork to 17 & 19 gables is bright. Is this the original colour scheme? Rear Elevation - Render work needs to be made good in some areas and needs some minor redecoration. Windows appear to be in a reasonably good condition. Property No. 9 needs to repair and redecorate the windows on the first floor. There is some slipped slates on the roof which need to be replaced. Property No. 19 has PVCu windows at the ground floor level and the dormer windows in the roof need to be repaired.

25j. 25-35 The Ginnel Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1914 Description Terrace of 6 No. cottages with half timbered and brick end unit No. 35 providing a pretty end stop to the block. Brick plinth with painted render to upper walls. Jetted first floor with timber brackets picked out in black and white style. Roof in red clay tiles with brick chimneystacks. Varied porches to 27/29 with 31/35. the latter have twin pitched roofs in tile. Attractive half timbered porch to No. 2 7 with quatrefoil patterns to framed gable. Condition Fair Risks - Brickwork in some area needs to be raked out and repointed. Timber framing needs to be carefully and regularly inspected. Chimneystacks and the chimney stacks need to be repointed. All windows to be redecorated to prevent any future decay. There are many trailing wires, alarm boxes and numerous aerials attached to the chimneystacks. Obsolete equipment should be removed and the rest better fixed. Rear Elevation - Most windows need to be repaired and repainted to prevent further decay. Slipped tiles on the roof need to be replaced and inappropriate windows need to be replaced. The garden wall at the back of the property needs to be raked out and repointed. Satellite dishes and alarm boxes at the back of the property need to be better concealed. 25k. 3-6 Greendale Road See also 25u 55 57 Primrose Hill Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date - 1925 Description - Corner block of 6 houses. External walls are in fairfaced brickwork with a brick soldier course to window heads and a tile on edge soldier course between ground and first floors. 4-6 Greendale Road have distinctive Queen Anne style scalloped porches, while the properties on Primrose Hill and 3 Greendale Road have more simple timber bracketed porches with lead roofs. Roofs are in clay plain tiles with tiled valleys (presumably with hidden lead flashings). Windows are in timber casements with leaded lights. Chimneys are in matching facing brick with a tiled string course and brick on edge caps. Condition - generally good but No.4 Fair to poor. Risks - cast iron gutters in poor condition requiring decoration and maintenance to 4 & 5 Greendale Road. Slipped and missing tiles particularly to No.4. Plant growth to chimney stacks requires racking out and repointing generally. Hidden valley gutter between gables of 55 and 57 Primrose Hill requires regular maintenance and checking. Many chimney stacks have lost their original pots and appear to be capped with high level air vents. Rear elevation in a plainer stock brick, with simple brick soldier course to window and door heads and a tile on edge sill. Rear replacement window to 57 Primrose Hill not to original patterns. Ground floor windows in PVCu. Redecoration required to rear windows to No.4 Greendale. Ground floor windows to No.4 also not to original patterns. 25l. 6a - 6h Greendale Road Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date - 1926 Description - Ground floor in fairfaced brickwork with first floor cantilevered and supported on timber brackets to 6d 6g. Upper walls in painted render. Corner block timbering together with 6h. Timber surrounds to all windows with various elevational details. Collyweston stone flagged roof with brick chimneys and clay chimney pots all in various styles. This needs to be researched to find out what was the original. Paving in a mixture of flag and cobble stone, presumably the original style very interesting and detailed. The rear by contrast is strangely plain with sock brick walls and plain timber casements. The rear to 6b is bizarre, needing an immense fascia to link the roof and plan. Why not increase the plan? Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 60 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Condition - Fair to good. Risks - Re-pointing required to some areas of the ground floor. Redecoration required to some window frames. Some stone flags have cracked/slipped and need re-fixing. Trailing wires and alarm boxes and aerials, especially on the front of the property, need to be better fixed. Timber brackets to the cantilevered floors need regular inspections. Description - Terrace of 8 houses in an L-shaped pattern with the western ended consisting of 2 half timbered cottages while the eastern end 6h is a single half timbered cottage. The intermediate range (6c-6g) is a linear terrace with plain fairfaced brick walling to the ground floor and a cantilevered first floor on timber brackets with rendered panels. The roofing is in Collyweston stone flags in diminished courses together with a stone coping. Valleys are in lead sheet with cast iron rainwater goods. The intermediate range has a heavy large section coving above a string course. The rainwater goods have a distinctive radiused bend to match the coving. Chimneys are in fairfaced brick with some diamond patterning in proud headers, otherwise chimneys are plain and unadorned. Condition - good. Risks - cantilevered first floor to main range is a poor detail and requires regular inspections for signs of distress. Some cracked roof slabs, particularly above 6c require repair / replacement. Redecoration to render panels to 6a. Windows generally require redecoration particularly to 6a and 6b. Loose / broken roofing flags above 6h gable and loose / trailing wires requiring clipping generally. Note stone flagged paths to the courtyard approaching the properties. These are significant to the setting of the buildings. Rear elevation - external walls in plain stock brick with Collyweston stone flags to roof. The roof to 6b has an unusual deep section cornice and high eaves presumably to simplify the roof ridge line. Rear windows to 6a require decoration. Side windows to 6b are inappropriate pattern. 25m. 1-18 Duke of York Cottages Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1934 (built) Description - Ribbon terrace of 18 attached houses. These cottages are in an informal S-shape facing both Brook Street, Primrose Hill and part of Greendale Road. The external faces are formed in a combination of fairfaced brick with brick arched lintels to ground floor windows and brick first floor, together with corner pieces in timber framing with decorative cantilevered first floors and gabled facades. Roofs are in Collyweston stone flags in diminished courses. Ridges are also in stone. External hips and internal valleys have hidden lead soakers. Internal elevations have a similar combination of fairfaced brick to ground floors with plain painted render panels to upper floors. Some chimneys to the western end of Greendale Road are in stone. The elevation to Primrose Hill has an attractive concave plan with a ground floor porch covering bay windows and recessed entrance areas. Some corners have dressed stone quoins. The elevation to Greendale Road is treated differently with two end ranges in fairfaced coursed ashlar stone with the central range in rendered masonry. Stone dressings to doors and windows with a stone plinth. Rainwater goods are largely in cast iron but a number of inappropriate plastic gutters and downpipes have been fitted to the elevation on Primrose Hill. Condition - good. Risks - inappropriate plastic gutters and downpipes generally and particularly to the elevation on Primrose Hill. Poorly fitted TV aerials to central chimneys, particularly to 4-5 and 8-9. Loose / trailing wires require clipping. Some damage to stone chimneys above 1/2 Duke of York Cottages caused by chimney aerial clamps. Many of these are poor galvanised fittings and are rusting causing damage to stone. Note carved date 1933. Subsidence crack to the end of No.1 facing Bebington Road. Marginal signs of distress to top left-hand side of window with diagonal crack working towards the stone kneeler. Note previously repaired cracks to the end cottage, No.1 on the north side, facing Brook Street. It appears that the end wall may be settling, requiring underpinning. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 61 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Structural investigation required. Inspection of internal courtyard - several lead lined valleys require clearing out. Hip and valley details are prone to failure and require regular inspection. Blocked, leaking downpipe adjacent to No.16 requires investigation. Brickwork heavily stained. Damage to tiled caps to gate piers into central courtyard needs repair. 25n. 1-4 King George's Drive See 25B Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date - 1913 Description - ground floor and flanking walls in brickwork. First floor in between the two gable ends, supported on timber brackets with painted render. Roof is in red clay tile with large brick chimneys. Condition - Fair. Risks - Some repointing work to brick needed. Some already done to No. 1. Windows on the first floor of No.2 and No.3 need repair/redecorating. Burglar alarms, TV aerials and dangling wires down the front of the building are unsightly. The door to No.3 is in poor condition and needs repair work and redecoration. Repair/repointing works need to be made to the chimneys, also additional pieces have been added to the tops of the chimneys. Paths to the front of the houses are mainly in concrete slabs which are unsightly. 25o. 5-20 King George's Drive Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1913 Condition - Fair Description - One of the longest blocks, a terrace of 16 No. cottages, forming the bulk of the northern façade to The Diamond. Central range No.s 10 15 set well back and flanked by East, West wings of 5 No. units each. Central range has a continuous jetted first floor on timber columns. Brick plinths with render to lower walls and clapboarding to upper walls. End blocks are brick with rendered upper walls and stone dressings. Some decorative gables with half timbered work. Roofs in stone flagging. Decorative brick chimneys with diaper pattering. Risks - Some repointing work needs to be carried out to the brickwork. Some repair and redecoration work needed to the window frames. There appears to be some sagging on the roof, which will need further investigation. Vegetation needs to be removed from roof and chimney stacks. Door to No.5 perhaps not the original door as slightly different in style. Trailing wires and aerials look unsightly. Timber framing will need to be adequately maintained and regularly inspected. Windows of No.7 are PVCu and have a different pattern to the rest of the building. They should be replaced. Timber columns supporting the first floor require regular maintenance. Some large gaps beginning to emerge in the clapboarding to central range, these need to be repaired. Large amounts of additional flashing been added under the windows. These may need to be repaired. Many burglar alarms and chimneys to these properties which look unsightly. Some replacement PVCu guttering to No.10 and No.11. Ironmongery to doors to no. 9-13 not original. No.12-14 may need additional work to the timber facing, this looks to be in poor condition and some of it looks to be suffering from decay. Timber frames of No.18 in very poor condition, as is the entrance door. Large amount of repointing work needs to be carried out. At ground floor level of No.18-20. There seems to be some decay in the first floor window of No.18 and possibly some on the beam above. No.19-20 in slightly better condition but there is still quite a bit of repair work and redecoration work to the windows and doors. Large number of aerials and burglar alarms which need to be better hidden or removed and there are also a large number of trailing wires across the front of the buildings. No.18 has ivy growing up the front of the buildings which may need to be removed. S Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 62 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

light sagging to the roof structure needs to be investigated. Concrete paving to the entrance is ugly. At the rear of properties - starting at No.20 - repointing work needs to be carried out to the back wall. Satellite dish to the back of the property. Poor quality windows, skylights in the roof, also many slipped roof tiles that need to be replaced. Some obvious areas of repair with clips holding the tiles in place. No.19 has replacement windows at the back that are not in keeping with the originals. New rendering work has been done at ground floor level of No.19 to cover up what was probably originally brickwork. No.18 needs cleaning or repainting to the back of the property and repair works need to be carried out to the windows, especially those on the first floor. Again, slipped roof slates on the roof. Unsightly PVCu guttering has been added. No.17 and No.16 need repointing work to the ground floor level brickwork and also seem to have some of the windows not in keeping with the original design. No.15 has got new doors and windows to the downstairs; possibly in PVCu. No.14 has had an extension to the back in pebble dash render. This has been carried out further down on this row as well, on No.12 and No.10. Repointing works need to be carried out to No.13 and No.12 to the ground floor brickwork. No.11 and No.10 also need repointing work to be carried out to the brickwork. No.10 has PVCu windows to the downstairs and the upstairs. No.9 has PVCu windows to the downstairs and upstairs at the back of the property as does the downstairs of No.8. There is some slippage of tiles at the back of the property. These will need to be repaired. No.5-7 all have PVCu windows to the downstairs and some to the first floor of the properties. No.6 has a pebble dashed extension which is not in keeping and No.5 has a conservatory in PVCu. 25p. 21-22 King George's Drive See The Girls Club and 25ae Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date - 1913 Corner block and part of The Girls Club. Description - brickwork to below sill level with pebbledash render to upper walls. Timber surrounds to windows, bay window between No.21 and 22 all in timber. Roof in red tile with brick chimneystacks and clay chimney pots. Risks - Heads of timber windows vulnerable and need regular inspections to exposed cornice detail. Lead covered porches vulnerable to leaks to rear. Some repointing work needed to the bricks at the lower level and to the stacks of the chimneys. Roof is in fair condition Aerials and wires running down the front of the building and burglar alarms look unsightly. Concrete path leading to both front doors is unsightly. Rear Elevation - In generally good condition on the ground floor. The first floor needs some redecoration work to the plastering and rendering. The windows appear to be in good condition although some attention needs to be paid to the downpipes. There looks to have been some rusting. These may need to be re-decorated or replaced. There are some slipped tiles on the roof. These will need to be replaced. Moss and vegetation growing on the roof needs to be brushed off. 25q. 1-15 Jubilee Crescent Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date - 1938. Description - large terrace of 15 houses with brick and tile hung masonry walls, with clay tile roofs. One of the last developments in the Village completing the North-East side of The Diamond. Notable features are timber framed lobbies with decorative herringbone brick infill panels to Nos: 6 & 7. Plain stock brick elevations to the rear with flush timber casements. Swimming pool used to be on opposite SE corner, now the site of the Nursery. Condition - good Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 63 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - maintenance to rainwater goods. Slipped tiles. Cantilevered brick walling to upper walls of No.2 is susceptible to movement and needs regular inspections. Maintenance to chimney tops and chimney stacks. Decoration to windows, particularly No.8. Note that Nos 9-15, by the same architect, have a different decorative treatment, with painted clapboard gables in a crescent formation. The bay roof details are also different, and these should really be categorised as a separate block. Notable diaper patterned brickwork to the exposed chimney on No.9. Rear - variety of different window details. Replacement windows to the rear of no.13 are poor. PVCu conservatory added to the rear of No.11. Note this prevents access to maintain the roof above. Single storey extension added to rear of No.4. Low level replacement PVCu windows to rear of No.3. Garden walls in poor condition and some rebuilding / pointing required. 25r. 29-33 Lower Road Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1907 Description Short terrace of 3 No. houses with a distinctive south facing gable to No. 29. The block forms part of a landscaped square with 25s 35-49 Lower Road. The landscape is surprisingly spacious. Materials are painted render to most walls over a low brick plinth with decorative red clay tile wall hanging to parts of the upper walls and between the bay of No. 33. Plain chimneys, set within the ridge, are white rendered with red brick caps and clay pots. Windows are timber casements with rectangular leaded lights. Roof in red clay tile. A simple but effective composition. Condition Fair to good. Risks Some missing tiles require repair. Stained chimneys need decoration. This is a weakness of the design with flush caps. Timber windows with extruded cornices need regular inspection and decoration to avoid decay. First floor windows to No. 31 very poor and need urgent repair. Flashings to the two chimney stacks need investigation. Rear Render to 31 requires redecoration. First floor casements require redecoration particularly to No. 31. Rainwater goods and drainage pipework require painting particularly soil stack to No. 31. Roofs have some slipped tiles needing repair. Unsightly aerials to chimneys need better fixing. 25s. 35-49 Lower Road Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date - 1906 Description Linear terrace of 8 No. cottages. Central bay Nos. 39 47 are recessed with jetted first floors supported on timber posts and brackets. First floors are tile hung with painted render to lower walls over a low brick plinth. End blocks are rendered to both floors with a combination of open and half hipped gables. Windows all have wooden sills, lintels and surrounds. Roof in the red clay tile with chimney stacks that are rendered with brick detailing to the top and clay chimney pots. Condition - Fair. Risks - No.41 ground floor good condition but first floor needs some major repair and redecoration work to the first floor window and repair work to the flashing below the window. No.39, 37, 34 needs some repair work to the ground and first floor windows and needs redecoration. The column outside No.37 needs repainting and redecoration work. Check condition for rot/ decay. Render work in good condition. Some wall tiles have slipped and need to be replaced. Chimneystacks are in poor condition, they will need to be re-rendered/redecorated. Patches of brickwork can be seen underneath. Vegetation on the chimney stacks needs raking out & repointing. Many loose wires running down the face of the building from unsightly aerials on top of the chimney stacks. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 64 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Condition - Fair to good. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 66 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks Timber frame and decorative brick infill panels require regular maintenance and inspection. No.35 requires extensive fascia repairs including replacing rotten first floor window frames and redecoration. Properties 31-33 timber windows need decoration. Consideration to protruding canopies and the quality of the lead work - possibly in need of replacement. Chimneys are growing ferns and need re-pointing. General comments: regular maintenance required to timber frames and timber columns to central range. Existing concrete path ugly. At the rear of the properties No. 46, PVCu windows to ground floor. No. 40, small lean-to making it difficult to access the first floor windows of the property. No. 39 PVCu windows to ground and first floor. Ground floor and bathroom windows do not appear to be of the original style. No. 35 PVCu windows to ground floor. No. 33 PVCu windows to ground floor. Unsightly aerials and loose cables require fixing. Redecoration to timber windows and rainwater goods generally. 25 aa. 47-50 Queen Mary's Drive See 25c & 25d 13-17 The Causeway Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1913 Description Part of corner block to Queen Mary s Drive with The Causeway. Recessed central range with oversailing first floor in render over brick base. Flanking wings in full height brick with some stone dressings. End on clay tiles add to the detailing of the gable ends with tiles to the roof with brick chimney stacks. Condition - Fair Risks Some re-pointing required to soft brick. Windows and rendering in good condition. Timber columns and half timbering supporting cantilever require continuing maintenance. 25 ab. 2-4 Water Street See 25a 60 62 Bolton Road which are part of the same block. Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date - 1914 Description Return to corner from Bolton Road with prominent chimney to the corner. Rendered full height gable to No. 2 with decorative plaster panel. Timber beams and columns support the first floor of No. 4. Timber window and door surrounds. The roof is in red clay tile with brick chimney stacks and clay chimney pots. End gable chimney has stone dressings. Condition Fair Risks - Continuing maintenance of the timber post and beam structure supporting the first floor to No. 4. Redecoration of the render work required. Raking off of the moss and vegetation to the roof and the raking out of vegetation and repointing of the chimney stacks is required. Rear Elevation - Ground floor to both houses have PVCu doors/windows. 25 ac. 1-3 Windy Bank Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1926 Description - Semi-detached block of 2 No. houses with linked walling to adjacent houses. Fairfaced brickwork with deep oversailing eaves and classical square planned bay windows above the two entrances forming porches.

A central chimney is in brick with 4 segmental flues set on the diagonal. Condition - good. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 67 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - cleaning out and redecoration to rainwater goods. Timber repairs to the head of the first floor bay window to No.1. Inappropriate external light adjacent to No.1. Broken TV aerial to rear of chimney. Usual unclipped cables to the roof need fixing. Redecoration to front bay of No. 1 in sky blue which I suspect is the correct historic colour. 25 ad. 5 Windy Bank 25 The Girls Club (now Sunlight Vision) See 25x 15-22 Queen Marys Drive which forms part of the same corner group. Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1913 This building was built as a social facility for Women; possibly including Further Education & Training. It may have replaced or enhanced the earlier facilities at the former Girls Hostel on Greendale Road. However, the single sex nature of the building was dropped and it became another Social Club within the Village. However it was competing with other recreational facilities and became largely redundant. Recently it has been taken over as the offices for the Port Sunlight Village Trust and has been renamed Sunlight Vision and incorporates an exhibition on the Village and its founder. The building has a prominent position on the corner of King George s Drive and Windy Bank overlooking the East façade of the Lady Lever Art Gallery and the adjacent public parking. The building has a prominent pair of double height oriel windows in sandstone with stone mullions; and attractive leaded lights to all openings. Sandstone dressings are applied to the plinth, cornice, string course and coping stones to the parapets. The masonry elements are formed in a dry dash render. To the west side, against Windy Bank, the upper elevation is half timbered with a timbered gable, while to the east side, against King George s Drive, the masonry work is rendered. The building forms an interesting termination at an acute angle between King Georges Drive and Windy Bank. Note that Windy Bank was part of the original layout to the Village and was later bisected by The Diamond after the infilling of the tidal inlets c1910. 25 ae 18 22 Windy Bank Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1913 (See Girls Club & 25p) Description - First floor and ground floor level in pebbledash supported over brickwork plinth with timber surrounds to all the windows. Distinctive timber porches. Slate roof with brick chimney stacks and clay chimney pots. Bay windows to No.19 and 21 and 22 in timber throughout with interesting facetted ground floor windows and square section upper windows with transitional spandrel panel. Condition - Fair. Risks - Some pointing required on No.21. Roof in fair condition, some vegetation needs to be removed from the roof and the chimney stacks. No.21 needs repair and redecoration works to the windows of the ground and first floor and to the door. Replacement of flashing to the top of the ground floor window also required. No. 22 has decay to the window frames of the ground and first floor. Will need to be replaced and renovated and redecorated - in very poor condition. Aerials and trailing wires look unsightly and need fixing. Rear - Extension to the back of No.20. Poor condition of windows to the back of No.22 and 21. Guttering needs to be repainted to No.21. Satellite dishes on the backs of No.21 and 20. 26a. 31-35 Corniche Road Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1897 Description Terrace of 3 No. cottages. Fairfaced brickwork to the ground floor level with dormer roof extending to low eaves with a single twin dormer window over the entrances to 33 & 35. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 68 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Low eaves cover 2 No. ground floor bays and form the porches to Nos. 33 35 with timber bracket and beam. Brick chimneystacks and clay chimney pots. Property 31 has an interesting gable end that has render work to the first floor level with artwork including tulips and spring flowers. Windows have a special leaded light detail which comprises alternate panes including the design of a circle or a heart. Detailed cast iron hoppers with the date 1897. Condition Fair Risks Some brickwork needs to be raked out and repointed. Some slipped roof tiles need to be rehung and replaced. Raking out of the vegetation from the chimney stacks and re-pointing. Repair work to the first floor windows of properties 33 and 35 and redecoration to prevent decay. Repair work to the ground floor windows of No. 31. Timber lintel supporting front eaves to 33 35 porch needs regular inspection. Alarm boxes at the front of the property and trailing wires running down the roof need to be better fixed. Concrete paths to the front of the property are unsightly. Flat roofed dormers need regular inspection of roof coverings. Rear Some raking out and repointing of the brickwork at the ground floor level is required. Slipped tiles on the roof need repair. Windows, especially those at the first floor level, need redecoration work. Back garden wall and out buildings need to be raked out and repointed. Out building roofs need re-tiling. 26b. 298-300 New Chester Road Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1898 Description Semi-detached cottages with half timbered jetted front façade and 2 No. gable windows facing New Chester Road. Combination of render/ brick and half timbering to gables. Ground floor in fairfaced brickwork. First floor in a combination of render and timber framed and panel. Windows in sandstone surrounds on the ground floor and on the first floor in timber surrounds. The roof is in clay tiles with brick chimney stacks. The main door to No. 300 is recessed and the porch is supported by a timber column and beam. Strange Viking carving to stone brackets to ground floor bay windows. Condition Fair Risks Some re-pointing is required. The timber frame need to be regularly inspected and decorated. Guttering to the property is in poor condition and requires cleaning and redecoration. Barge boards and timbers to both gables need decoration. Boiler flue to front of No. 298 is unsightly. Could this be better positioned? Rear - Brickwork to No. 300 needs to be raked out and repointed. Dormer windows need to be repaired. The brick chimney stacks need to be raked out and repointed. No. 300 has a PVCu conservatory to the back of the property. 26c. 30-38 Primrose Hill Architect - J Lomax-Simpson Date 1899 Description - Attractive and unusual asymmetric design with a prominent chimney to the front elevation and a combination of white rendered gables and dormer style clay tiled roofs. External walls in fairfaced brick, together with some Ashlar stone to the base and raked sides of the front chimney. Brick corbelled brackets support the prominent gable to No. 30 which has some distinctive decorative plasterwork in a tulip motif. Original Ogee cast iron guttering with distinctive cast hopper heads with a trout motif. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 69 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Condition good Risks - Some decay to the Ashlar stone at the base of the chimney. This may require dressing back. Timber casement windows generally require redecoration. The ground floor windows are detailed without an effective cill and I suspect that these are prone to rot. The gable window to 38 (again prominent below the chimney on the gable) appears to be moving. Some plant growth to chimneys requires raking out and repointing. 27a. 3-33 Bath Street See also 27c 9-10 Riverside Architect - J Joseph Talbot Date 1897 (built) Description Cheshire red brickwork to external walls with buff sandstone stringcourses, window dressings and verges. Significant arched openings in sandstone forming recessed double porches. Decorative features include corner turret with copper cap and finial to No. 29 and copper roofed bay to No. 3. Combination of plain and Dutch brick gable ends, with timber dormer windows in between. Combination of classical and neo Jacobean chimneys. Attractive brickwork diaper work to 31-33. Date stone 1896 to central Dutch style gable above 9 & 11. Red clay plain tiles to roof. Condition Good. Risks - Some re-pointing to brickwork and repair of lead work over the dormer windows. Some tiles slipped on roof which need to be replaced and vegetation removed from chimneys. Regular redecoration work needed on the dormer windows above the main doors and redecoration and renovation works needed to the windows of the main Dutch gable end. General renovation work needed to the leadwork above the dormer windows. Some of the stone surrounds on the windows need attention where there has been frost action. Inspect the copper roof on the turret of 29. Property 29 also needs repair and redecoration works to the windows. Properties 31 and 33 also need repair and redecoration works to the windows, possible decay especially to No.33. All paths are in tamped concrete and are ugly. 27b. 89-97 Bebington Road Architect - J Joseph Talbot Date 1901 Description Distinctive terrace of 5 No. cottages with central range of three units with advancing wings to either end. Prominent hipped gables to each wing over partly timbered gable end with plaster panels framing the first floor shallow bay windows. Main roof is a mansard profile with prominent timber dormer windows and distinctive steep pitched hipped dormer roofs with pointed lead finials. Shallow bowed timber bay windows to central range. Windows to wings in 4 No. panels with attractive semi-circular heads. Red sandstone masonry to the ground floor followed by Cheshire red brickwork on the ground floor level. First floor level in render with brick dressings. Mostly original cast iron guttering. The chimney stacks are in brick with clay chimney pots. Condition Good. Risk - Repair and redecoration work to the first floor windows. Flashings above windows to nos. 93 and 95 need replacing. Redecoration and repair work to render work on No. 93. Damp above the window will need to be investigated. Care re-pointing needed to dentilled brick string course. All rainwater goods need painting. Plastic gutters to No. 91 dormer. There are some slipped slates to the roof of this property which need to be replaced. Trailing wires down the front of the property need to be more securely fixed. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 70 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Rear Elevation - Some brickwork needs to be raked out and re-pointed. There are some slipped tiles which need to be replaced. There are PVCu windows to the backs of all properties. Some satellite dishes to the backs of the properties. 27c. 9-10 Riverside See 27a 3-33 Bath Street Architect - J Joseph Talbot Date - 1897. Description Similar Dutch style brickwork and features as 27a. Fairfaced brickwork to ground and first floor with stone surrounds to windows and doors. Canopy in stone with stone brackets and flat roof over entrance doors. Roof in red clay tile with detailed brick chimney. Detailed gable with diaper brickwork to both ends of the property. Condition - Fair to good. Risks - Some repointing works to brickwork. Some careful repair works needed to some of the stone detailing, especially on the canopies over the doors. Repair and redecoration works needed to the timber windows on No.9. Windows to No.10 look fair and recently painted, however the entrance door and frame need repair and redecoration. Roof in good condition. Chimney in good condition. Guttering between properties 9 and 10 needs major repairs. At the back of properties No.9 and 10 both have similar risks to the front. Both require some repointing work. No.9 requires renovation and redecorating of timber framed windows. A few slipped tiles but generally good. Some areas where lead flashing needs repair. 27d. 25 Wood Street See 28a 16-22 Bridge Street and 28j 24 Park Road Architect - J Joseph Talbot (Wilson & Talbot) Date - 1894 Description - Terrace of 6 No. cottages. Picturesque combination of coursed red sandstone with a bold stone plinth and a first floor in timber framing. Central 2 bays are all in timber frame with highly decorative gables and barge boards. The first floor framing is swept up to the Park Road elevation which terminates in a stone bay. The design is a bold composition in the Arts and Crafts manner. Roofing is in green Westmoreland slate with diminished courses. Chimneys are in a combination of stone bases with decorative brick circular shafts. Interesting asymmetric composition with a full height stone bay to No. 16. Condition Fair to good. Risks - a number of chimneys have additional pots. Are these needed? I suspect that the chimneys originally had no additional pots. TV aerials of various ages and assortments diminish significance. The downpipe to 25 Wood Street has been replaced in PVCu to the Bridge Street elevation. The Wood Street timber gable is in poor condition to the decorative carved barge board. Rear elevation is uncharacteristically decorative compared to the plainer rears of other properties into the central courtyards. Stone and decorative timber have been used here. Rear timber framing is in poor condition, particularly to No.25 Wood Street. One windowsill appears rotten. Rear stone wall to the courtyard requires raking out and repointing in lime mortar. The lead lined hoppers appear to be leaking and require inspection with possible repair. 27 Hesketh Hall, New Chester Road Architect - J Joseph Talbot (& Grayson & Ould) Date 1903 (extended 1905-06) Description - Technical Institute used for Further Education & Training. The building was paid for by Lever himself as a gift to the Village and not by the company. It is a testimony of his commitment to Further Education and personal development. Formerly used by The Royal British Legion but not well maintained and is now redundant. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 71 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

The building is 'at risk' and requires a swift resolution to halt rapid decay and irreparable damage/ loss. Sadly this was Talbots last major building (along with Thornton Manor Music Room) as he died before completion. A later extension with the prominent pargetted gables facing Chester New road was designed by Grayson & Ould in 1905 06. Sandstone blockwork to the ground floor with pebble dash render to the first floor. Clay tiled roof with a brick chimney stacks and a decorative air vent to the centre of the roof. There are two stepped jettied gables facing New Chester Road with the finest quality of decorative plasterwork (pargetting) to the gable panels. All windows are timber framed and are of a variety of styles. The windows to the ground floor are in varying styles. Condition - Poor Risks - Re-pointing required to the whole of the sandstone blocking on the ground floor. Cleaning and patching of the rendered pebble dash to the first floor is required. Many slipped slates on the roof are required to be re-hung. The gable ends need much attention as do the detailing and artistic work need much repair and cleaning. Areas around the guttering and around the drain water pipes need to be cleaned and vegetation needs to be removed. Guttering needs to be repaired all the way round the property. Windows need to be replaced and there is much rot to the first floor joinery to the front elevation onto New Chester Road which needs to be replaced. 28a. 16-22 Bridge Street See 27d 25 Wood Street and 28j 24 Park Road 28b. 18-22 The Causeway See 28f 44-48 Greendale Road Architect - Wilson and Talbot Architects Date - 1894 See notes under 27d.

External elevations in fairfaced red brickwork with areas of diaper patterning in overburnt headers. Stone dressings to windows and doors, with half timbered first floor treatments to principal corners on The Causeway and Greendale Road. Clay tile roof, which appears to have been replaced at a later date. Recent vertical wall tile cladding to north gable on The Causeway block, but very badly done. Attractive leaded lights and decorative carved lintels above three panel doors. Brick chimney stacks with mini buttresses and some diagonal stacks. Condition - good Risks - Poor quality tile hanging to gables with unfinished details to head and sides. Poor condition to half timbered gable to No. 48. Obtrusive wall boiler extract flues and extract vent grilles. Guttering to Greendale Road has been installed in PVCu together with plastic downpipes. This should be replaced in cast iron. Obtrusive alarm box to corner. External telephone cables and wires unclipped to No.47/48 and elsewhere around the building. Plastic downpipe and guttering also to north gable facing Causeway Close. Rear elevation onto Causeway Close largely unaltered, apart from 2 additional windows at first floor level, out of pattern. However, all guttering and downpipes now in PVCu together with a large proportion of soil pipe work. Aerials and overhead cables also obtrusive.

The timber lintel and column supporting the porch over No. 27 needs to be repaired as there is some severe decay. Windows to first floor level all need to be redecorated, especially the central bay window at the first floor level to No. 27. Lead gutter to advancing bays of Nos. 25 and 29 needs inspection and possibly repair. All rainwater goods to be painted. Rear Some re-pointing of brickwork. Repair and redecoration work, especially to the first floor windows is required. Replacement of slipped tiles on the roof is necessary and making good of the render work to the first floor level, especially where extractor fans have been inserted is required. Property number 29 - Repair and redecoration work to the ground and first floor windows to prevent decay. Usual aerials and cables need refixing. Redundant fittings to be removed. 28d. 37-41 Corniche Road Architect - Wilson and Talbot Date 1899 Description Terrace of 3 No. cottages with prominent mansard double pitched advancing bay to elevation to Nos. 37-39.

28e. 11-17 Greendale Road Architect - Wilson and Talbot Date 1902 Description Significant timber framed elevation to Greendale Road which is a copy of Kenyon Peel Hall in Lancashire (now demolished). Highly decorative timber frame as a sandstone plinth. Jetted first floors to central gable and flanking wings. Stone flag roofing but with rather plain brick chimney stacks and stone caps. Cast iron rainwater goods. Rear - ground floor fairfaced brickwork with brick string course and first floor in smooth, painted render pattern. Roofing in Collyweston Sandstone flags. Guttering in PVCu with plastic downpipes. Condition - good Risks Timber frame needs regular inspections to prevent damage / decay. Some roof slabs have shaled / broken and require replacement. Roof to rear outbuilding between 14 and 15 Greendale Road requires re-roofing. PVCu conservatory added to rear of No.17, making access difficult to maintain first floor windows and roof. TV aerials above Nos. 16 and 17 unsightly. Often redundant aerials are not removed when replaced. 28f. 44-48 Greendale Road See 28B 18-22 The Causeway 28g. 64-70 Greendale Road Architect - Wilson and Talbot Date - c1901. See notes to 28b. Architect - Wilson and Talbot Date 1902 Description Long terrace of 7 No, houses with each house articulated on the entrance elevation. The central house, No. 67 is expressed with a full height brick gable with a stone plinth, stone dressings to windows and door, and commemorative stone plaque. 66-68 flanking are recessed with half height timber framing to first floor. 65-69 have a first floor with pebble dash render and a decorative, faintly Dutch, parapet coping. The two end houses have prominent brick and stone gables matching the central gable of No.67 but with the addition of three Jacobean style, decorative chimneys canted at 45 o. Rainwater guttering is largely cast iron, but some PVCu has crept in to elevations above 66 and 68. Condition Fair to good but No. 67 is poor. Risks - dilution of character by PVCu rainwater goods. Location of trees in front of the existing buildings, particularly 69 and 70, at 2 metres distance could cause structural damage to foundations. The render panel to No.67 requires repair. Water damage is affecting the stone cornice and urgent work is required, otherwise all of the stonework will be lost, including the heads of the windows. Rear - No. 64, the wooden window frames and lintels of the first floor windows are rotting and need to be repaired and redecorated. There are also many slipped and damaged tiles which need to be replaced. No. 65 is generally in good condition. No. 66, has some slipped and damaged tiles which need to be replaced. No. 67, major redecoration and repair work needed on first floor window. Possible timber decay to lintel above. Repair work also needed to the render used at the back of the building. Areas where there has been water run off down the face of the building are quite obvious. These have caused cracking of the render and staining of the brickwork below. These require cleaning and may need to be redecorated. Some slipped tiles on the roof of No. 67 and on the shed which will need to be replaced. Repointing to the back wall is needed. Nos. 68, 69 and 70, First floor needs redecoration including repointing, patching or complete re-rendering. Removing of vegetation from the roof needed. No. 70 Major repair works need to be carried out on the gable as there are areas of severe cracking. Repair needed to lintel on first floor window. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 74 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

General repair and repointing work will need to be carried out to the back wall of No. 70.

Brick chimney stacks with brick cornice. Painted render to the first floor level with timber surrounds to the windows. Roof in red clay tiles. Symmetry is avoided by the prominent chimney to No. 13. Nos. 11 & 15 have an attractive corner porch with classical timber columns (Doric) with dentilled frieze and cornice. First floor Venetian styled windows with ornate keystone to central semi-circular panel. Classical treatment to gables with a broken pediment and dentils to eaves soffits. Smaller dentils to verge. Sash windows to lower floors. Casement windows to upper floors. Original cast iron rainwater goods with attractive hoppers. Condition Fair to poor (No. 13 poor). Risks - Flashing to bay window roof on No. 15 may need to be replaced. Window to No. 15 in poor condition and appears to have some decay. Stonework to the porch of No. 15 has had frost damage. This is a beautiful masonry detail and will need to be replaced. No. 13 has some decay to the first floor windows and some vegetation growing out of the detailed brickwork. Brickwork has been damaged where the downpipe has gone through. These all need repair. No. 11 has some decay to the first floor windows. These will need to be repaired and replaced. Property No. 9 in good condition. Some roof tiles have slipped generally and will need to be replaced. Vegetation to the chimney needs to be raked out and repointed. Some re-pointing to the brickwork needed generally. Aerials and trailing wires down the front of the property, together with burglar alarm boxes, all look unsightly. Concrete paths to the front doors to the property are ugly. Generally the valley details to the front elevation all need regular inspection. Rear Rear elevation is simpler with a flat façade enlivened by a central pitched gable and two pitched side gables. Lower walls in red brick with a corbelled string course with plain white painted render above. Combination of cast iron and plastic guttering. Drainage pipework in plastic. Windows to No. 11 appear to have lost dividing bars but still keep the original openings. 28l. 27-39 Pool Bank Architect - Wilson and Talbot Architects Date 1901 Description Long terrace of 7 No. cottages with a central range flanked by the end units with advancing gables/bays set at right angles. Red Sandstone to the ground floor but only to cill level. Pebbledash render to the upper walls. Sandstone surrounds to the windows with bay windows to alternating properties on the ground floor and double height shallow bays to each end gable. Guttering mostly in plastic.

Pebbledash to chimney stacks with stone cornice/caps. Unusually some brick surround to entrance doors of Nos. 31-35. Stone surrounds to Nos. 27-29 & 37-39. Condition Fair Risks Some areas of stonework need to be raked out/re-pointed. Stonework in poor condition from frost action, and some may need to be replaced. First floor bay window leadwork to 39 looks to be leaking and needs investigation. This could cause frost action during the winter. Slipped tiles to the roof needs repair. Chimney stacks in fair condition. Aerials to the chimney stacks look unsightly with trailing wires down the fronts of the buildings. Burglar alarm boxes along the fronts of the properties also look unsightly. Plastic gutters dilute significance and should be replaced with original cast iron. Rear Long terrace block with flat façade. Brickwork to ground floor with corbelled string course and white painted render above. Roof in plain clay tile with no dormers. First floor casement windows bricked under eaves. Some PVCu windows to rear of 33 together with a conservatory.

Some flat roofed extensions with felted flat roofs to Nos. 31-35 will need regular inspections and replacement felt. 29a. 3 20 Osborne Court Architect - Paddock and Johnson Date 1999 Description New residential development on the site of the former football pitch. Architectural detailing in keeping with the properties around, using similar materials. Unfortunately the development does not correspond with the superblock plan with entrance elevations facing the surrounding highway and internal courts for private gardens & parking. Condition Good. Risks None apparent. 29b. Philip Leverhulme Lodge Architect - Paddock and Johnson Date 2002 Description An attractive and well designed development which does correspond well to the pattern of housing on the estate; with entrance elevations facing the highway. Unfortunately it is isolated with an open rear elevation. The adjacent Osborne Court development has left a strip of unused land (part of the former football pitch) which now cannot be readily used. This is poor planning. Condition - Good Risks None apparent. 29c Newton Lodge, Central Road Architect Paddock & Johnson Date 1999 Description - The building is of modern date but in a convincing Port Sunlight vernacular. Construction is in masonry walls with a brick plinth and pebbledash rendered panels to ground and first floor together with decorative brick dressings to window jambs and a diamond brick motive to the upper walls. The central mass of the building is two storey with 2 No. single storey end bays. Condition good Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 77 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

Risks - Gutters are in cast iron but surprisingly some downpipes have been formed in PVCu to the side and rear elevation. 30a. 99 109 Bebington Road Architect Grayson & Ould Date c 1899 & partially rebuilt c 1945 after war damage. Description Terrace of 6 No. cottages in a neo-tudor style with brick and stone walls and 4-centres arches to doors and window. Ground and first floor windows in stone with stone mullions and ornate carved heads. 2 No. advancing wings with pitched gables to either side, having stone verge copings and kneeler blocks with stone ball caps.

The terrace steps down the hill and is reminiscent of early alms houses. Damaged by shrapnel damage in the bombing Rear elevation in plain brick but with interesting dormer windows formed in shallow pitched slate. Condition Fair Risks Some raking out and repointing to brickwork required. Some replacement of bricks where there has been frost action and damage. Generally windows need to be redecorated. Stonework surrounding the doors and windows needs repair where it has been eroded. Some damaged slates on the roof need to be replaced. The doors to property Nos. 101 and 103 need to be redecorated to prevent decay. The door of property No. 107 has been boarded over and has lost some of its original design. The door of property no. 109 also needs to be redecorated to prevent further decay. Alarm boxes to the fronts of the properties and TV aerials attached to the chimneys need to be repositioned. Rear Elevation - Raking out of some brickwork and repointing. Some slipped slates need to be replaced. Generally windows to the properties need to be redecorated. Some replacement windows to the rear are in differing patterns from the originals. There are many security lights, trailing wires, satellite dishes and alarm boxes to the backs of the properties which need to be better positioned. Lean-to greenhouse to rear of 101. PVCu windows to 99, 101 & 103. 30b. 14 16 Bolton Road Architect Unilever Technical Services Date c 1945-50 Description Ground and First floor in brickwork, with brick lintels and timber sills.

Bay window to first floor of No. 14. Roof is clay Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 78 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

plain tiles with decorative fascias to gable ends. 3 No. chimneys shared between the properties, constructed in later C20th brickwork. First floor of No. 8 clad in cedar shingles. Interesting detail to head of No. 8 bay window with swept shingle boarding taken from wall down over roof to bay. The site is next to the former Co-operative Store and Nos. 12-16 Bolton Road which were destroyed by a war-time bomb. Condition - Fair. Risks - timber frame appears to be in good condition but requires, regular maintenance. Vegetation requires removal from roof and chimneys. All properties require repair and redecoration to windows frames and doors. No. 10 and 14 have mismatching ironmongery. Nos. 10, 12 and 14 have unsightly aerials and trailing wires down the front into various windows. Recommend new flagging for the path leading up to the properties, at present in concrete. Rear - General repair works need to be carried out to all the windows at the back of the properties, all in very poor condition. No.12 has a large PVCu conservatory which is making access to the first floor windows difficult and a door which does not match to the rest in the row. No.10 and 8 have unsightly PVCu windows to the ground and first floor of the property. Slipped tiles need to be replaced. Repair work needs to be carried out on the chimneys. 30e. 1 Brook Street (The Railway Inn) Architect - unknown. Date - unknown Description - fairfaced red brick ground floor with half timbered first floor. Shallow pitched slate roofs with red terracotta ridge together with 2 decorative half timbered gables slightly cantilevered. Inappropriate flat roof extension to east side together with usual satellite dish. The building has some fine decorative caps to brick pilasters framing the ground floor windows. Otherwise it has little significance. Condition - good. Risks - as previously mentioned, inappropriate flat roof extension to the east side together with inappropriate casement windows. Surfeit of satellite dishes (3 No.) together with various cables across the façade. Absurdly tall chimney pot to central chimney stack and strange TV aerial (3 pronged). 30f. 97 101 Greendale Road Architect unknown but likely to be Grayson & Ould. Date 1894-95 Description - Terrace of 4 houses with brick and decorative pebble facings, diamond brickwork to gables and an oversailing roof with clay Rosemary tiles and low eaves. Distinctive cornice to gables and decorative brick patterning are similar to other works by Grayson & Ould. Interesting double height bay window to end gable onto Wood Street. Condition - good Risks - timber detail to double porch needs attention to prevent decay. Extensive ivy growth needs cutting back and controlling to prevent spread. 30h. 9 15 Wood Street Architect unknown but believed to be Grayson & Ould. Date - 1892 from hopper and decorative gable Description - Terrace of 4 No. cottages with the two end houses in advancing bays with jettied first floors. Central bay with squared coursed rubble stone to ground floor and half timbered first floor. Byrom Clark Roberts Conservation Architects Page 79 of 81 Revision A : August 2007

The composition is similar in appearance to a medieval hall house. Roofing in plain clay tiles together with tiled porches to the two entrance doors within the internal angles of the end bays. Notable features are the brick decorative chimneys with splayed shafts to either end elevation. Note No.9 has been re-roofed recently. Condition - good. 30i. Church Hall Architect unknown Date c1940 30j. Manor Lodge, Lodge Lane Architect unknown Date c1930 Risks - some PVCu downpipes have been installed, particularly to the south elevation of No.9. Usual poorly sited TV aerials particularly to the rear stack of No.13. Redecoration required to windows generally and particularly No.11. Chimney to No.15 appears to have been rebuilt but work has been executed poorly. The stack appears to be leaning and I suspect incorrect cement mortar has been used. Generally cast iron gutters and downpipes remain to the main elevation. These require redecoration. Rear to No.9 Wood Street has PVCu windows and a PVCu conservatory making access difficult for maintenance. Roofing to rear outhouses in poor condition. This is a single-storey building within the internal block to the south side of Bridge Street. It is constructed almost entirely of brickwork with exposed lintols in precast concrete. Existing windows are in a Crittal type metal frame in fair/ poor condition and require stripping down and redecoration. The central hall space has a pitched roof in plain clay tiles with flat roofed dormers to either side. Many of the existing tiles are missing and require replacement. The remaining ground floor is singlestorey with a parapet concealing a flat roof. There are no signs of external rainwater goods or hopper heads and presumably these are taken internally. The brickwork is in fair condition, but decoratively the building requires extensive work. The high level dormer windows surrounding the internal hall are in poor condition and require redecoration. The building is not unattractive, but its current condition and appearance minimise its contribution. A precast concrete panelled garage to the south-east corner is intrusive. The curtilage to the south side is formed by a chain link fence and concrete posts, all in poor condition. The fencing requires replacement. Manor Lodge was built as accommodation for nurses working at the adjacent Port Sunlight Cottage Hospital on the opposite side of Lodge Lane. The building has recently been converted by the Village Trust into private apartments for sale. External materials are a combination of facing brick and render panels with timber casement windows and horizontal glazing bars. The building is early to mid 20 th century (mid war) in appearance and attractive but undistinguished. Condition is good. 30k. Port Sunlight Station Architect unknown but later works by J Lomax-Simpson c1920. Date unknown but later works c1920 Archive drawings work to the Station by Lever Brothers c1920 under Lomax-Simpson. However it is unclear if all the present structure dates from that time or if elements of an earlier building are still incorporated. The station is located at the extremity of the south-east corner of the Village. It is constructed of timber frame on a raised concrete slab with clinker board external facings.

forms the entrance to the station on the north elevation. The roof is in a semi-hipped Dutch gable style with clay plain tiles. There are 2 No. escape doors with dormer windows above to the west elevation. These have swept tile valleys. Rainwater goods are in deep section cast iron. Some later drainage is in PVCu. The condition of the building is poor. There has been impact damage to the north-west corner, which requires repair. The guttering to this corner has also been damaged. The clay tiles are generally moss grown and valleys are full of moss and debris. These require brisk brushing off. The entrance elevation has a prominent gable at roof height and the interior is an impressive space formed of collared Kingpost trusses with tensioned tie bars to the eaves. All the interior walls are lined in vertical timber boarding and the roof is lined in diagonal timber cladding.
