Overview St. Peter at Gowt’s Character Area (is a low-lying flat area of land at the base of the ‘Witham Gap’. The Character Area is strongly influenced by High Street, which follows the alignment of a former Roman military road, Ermine Street. The character and function of buildings vary considerably throughout the Character Area, illustrating the successive re-development of the townscape and the evolution of High Street as the dominant commercial and transport route in the south of Lincoln, particularly during the High Medieval and Late Victorian/Edwardian periods. The Character Area is strongly influenced by its medieval development, seen in surviving buildings along its length, such as St. Mary’s Guildhall, Whitefriars and St. Peter at Gowt’s Church. In addition, the boundaries of medieval burgage plots are retained in the orientation of many of the east/west roads and building plots running off High Street. Urban blocks in the Character Area are generally small, as a result of regular road infrastructure running perpendicularly off High Street. Streets branching off High Street mainly date from the Post-Railway Expansion or Late Victorian/Edwardian Periods, although smaller lanes, exclusively on the west side of High Street, date to the Early Industrial Period. These lanes frequently retain components of their original street construction, whereas High Street and other roads are tarmac with modern concrete paving. Building density in the Character Area is high throughout. The form, materials and architectural style of buildings vary considerably along High Street, reflecting the plot by plot development and re-development of the road since the medieval era. The height of buildings varies between two to three storeys, resulting in a discontinuous pattern of rooflines. A wide variety of building materials are used throughout the Character Area, and properties frequently show signs of modification through extensive re-use. Shop fronts are a distinctive feature of the Character Area, and their diversity illustrates over 150 years of commercial activity along High Street. There is a high occupancy of retail units throughout, and an overall sense of vitality due to the high proportion of active frontages. Frontages are mainly narrow, especially on older premises, mostly of two-bay width, a large number of which have splayed doorways to the side. Large shop fronts have three bays or more, and frequently have doors positioned centrally. Shop fronts are mainly constructed of wood, with large windows, low stall risers and shallow cornices and pilasters. At street level, the solid-to-void ratio is low, except around more modern retail units within St. Marks. The north of the Character Area, around St. Marks, is dominated by larger commercial premises mainly occupied by national retail chains, in contrast to the south, which has a higher number of smaller independently run shops. Despite the wealth of diversity, the Character Area has strong consistencies, which together form an underlying but distinctive set of coherent townscape elements. Although there is some variation in height, buildings are almost entirely two to three storeys and are set at the back of the footway, resulting in a good sense of enclosure throughout. Above ground floor level, buildings have a high solid-to-void ratio with mainly vertical sash windows, which are comparatively smaller on the second floor than the first. Several Victorian/Edwardian properties have projecting first-floor bay windows, especially along Portland Street. Edge buildings are generally plain in construction, with solid walls built of small-scale materials, with a predominance of brick, although windowsills and lintels are frequently accentuated in stone or concrete. Roofs on edge buildings are mostly gabled, with their ridgelines running parallel to the street. Corner buildings tend to be of ‘higher status’ and emphasise the junction with High Street. They frequently address the corner, e.g. both modern and Victorian buildings on the Tentercroft Street/St Marks Street junction. The status and function of civic and religious buildings are reflected in their divergence from the norm, being set back from the pavement with gables facing High Street. Buildings of this sort tend to be comparatively more decorative. Many of the Character Area’s landmark and historic buildings occupy corner plots. Areas of more coherent townscape character around Portland Street and St. Marks represent more comprehensive phases of development during the Late Victorian/Edwardian and Modern periods. Space to the rear of buildings in the Character Area mainly consists of single-storey outbuildings and small yards. Many of the buildings are unoccupied and several are derelict. Building plots in this area are frequently not clearly defined and amalgamated. Much of this rear space on the east side of the Character Area is used for open-air car parking. Open space and tree and vegetation cover in the Character Area is limited, demonstrating the historically high commercial value of land, further illustrated by the correspondingly high building density.
Historical Development The stretch of High Street running south from the railway crossing to St. Peter at Gowt’s Church shows great diversity and depth of historic character. The varied townscape, including changeable architectural styles and different functions of buildings within the
Page 4 of 26
Character Area, reflects the ebb and flow of Lincoln’s development from the Roman era to the modern day. The unifying feature of the area is High Street itself, the alignment of which follows ‘Ermine Street’, a road constructed during the Roman Military Era [60-90 AD]. In the south of the Character Area the ‘Fosse Way’, a Roman road of comparable date, joined with Ermine Street. The in-situ remains of the ‘Fosse Way’ can still be observed within St. Mary’s Guildhall, and the approximate point at which the two roads converged is possibly denoted by an observable change in direction of High Street by the southern boundary of St. Peter at Gowt’s Church. In the north of the Character Area, High Street overlies a slightly earlier Roman causeway that crossed wetland in the Witham valley floor, and later provided the foundation for settlement south of the river during the Roman Colonia Era [90-410 AD]. Wetland either side of High Street was consolidated in successive stages between the Roman Military and Early Modern [1350-1750] periods. Evidence for the area’s former wetland location is still appreciable in the level ground upon which the Character Area sits, and in the modern location of the now canalised River Witham, which runs roughly parallel to High Street to the West. The High Medieval Era [850-1350 AD] saw the city emerge from a prolonged phase of decline. The current High Street was re-established roughly along the route of the Roman road, providing a backbone for the development of the extensive Wigford suburb, which accommodated substantial elite residences including the surviving St. Mary’s Guildhall (c.1150). The suburb featured no fewer than six parish churches, two of which survive today, St Mary le Wigford (c.1060) to the north of the Character Area and St. Peter at Gowt’s (c.1147), the west wall of which incorporates part of an earlier pre-conquest church, evident in the long and short masonry wither side of the west tower.
Figure 1 St. Peter at Gowt’s Church west façade
In the height of the High Medieval Era, the Wigford suburb stretched almost the full length of lower High Street, running from High Bridge down to Bar Gate, which marked the southern entrance to the medieval city. Land either side of High Street was divided into long narrow burgage plots which stretched back from buildings fronting High Street. The east and west edges of the Character Area are defined by the back of buildings plots along High Street, and the boundaries of the burgage plots are frequently retained within the townscape e.g. the northern property boundary of Sibthorp Street terraced housing and the southern boundary of St. Peter at Gowt’s churchyard. The Early Modern Era [1350-1750 AD] is generally regarded as a period of decline due, in part, to the earlier deterioration of the City’s cloth industry. Wigford however, appears to have continued as a suburb, attracting investment from wealthy mercantile
Page 5 of 26
families as demonstrated by ‘Whitefriars’, a surviving early 15th or late 16th century building at 333 High Street. The south façade of the building forms Akrill’s Passage in the north of the area. Building frontages of Early Modern date still remain along High
Street, including Marchmont House at numbers 363/364 and a row of medieval dwellings rebuilt in the late 18th century at numbers 107-113, and greatly contribute to the historic character of the area. St. Mark’s Street may date from this period, and was named after St. Marks Church, which was located on the current site of Debenham’s department store. Development increased in pace during the Early Industrial Period [1750-1845], particularly in the west of the Character Area, where industrial growth focussed along the River Witham. Albion Yard to the north of St. Marks and Tanner’s Lane to the south, which provided access to a now demolished early 18th-century riverside tannery, survive as examples of connecting lanes between former wharfs on the River Witham and the High Street. Housing, much of which would later be converted into shops, was constructed along High Street, with examples surviving at numbers 153-157, 125-126, and 128. Hotels and public houses, including the Lion Hotel (1826) and Hare and Hounds (1791), were established to serve expanding local and visiting populations. New and expanding communities also brought about the construction of several mainly non-conformist chapels, such as Lincoln Unitarian Chapel on Monson Street (1725) and the Independent Chapel on Tanner’s Lane (1820). The coming of the railways produced massive change throughout Lincoln, in particular along and either side of High Street. New railway lines divided up the historic suburb of Wigford, first by the construction of the east Midland Line (1846-1985), shortly followed by the Northern loop Line (1848) which remains active today. The former Midland station is now re-used as part of St. Mark’s shopping centre, and the redundant wheelhouse survives in front of the Magistrate’s Court on the east side of High Street. Roads off High Street, including Firth Road, Gaunt Street and Monson Street (1845), were constructed shortly afterwards during the Post-Railway Expansion Period [1846-1868], and, along with High Street, were soon developed with residential dwellings e.g. 141-143, 342 to 345 and 383-384 High Street. Commercial premises such the former bakery at 64 Monson Street, and community services including a police station at 382 High Street, and the former St. Marks Parochial School on St. Mark’s Street, were established alongside housing. Fuelled by industrial growth, Lincoln’s expansion continued during the Late Victorian/Edwardian Period [1869-1919] with further infill of remaining gaps along High Street, such as buildings surviving at numbers 366-368, and 370-374. New road infrastructure branching off High Street, including Chaplin, Sibthorpe, and King Streets, provided the basis for further development, and in the example of Monson Street, increased connectivity between High Street and the expanding city to the east by bridging Sincil Dyke. Corner buildings were often accentuated, such as at Tentercroft Street, and survive to demonstrate the commercial prestige of
High Street towards the end of 19th century. Lincoln’s only tramway was constructed along High Street in 1882, but was short lived, being dismantled in 1929.
Figure 2 Corner building at the junction of Tentercroft Street and High Street
Growing populations either side of High Street throughout the Late Victorian/Edwardian Period increased demand for commercial premises which was met both by the construction of purpose built shops (e.g. 129-131 and 159-160 High Street), many of which had accommodation to the rear or above, and the conversion of existing housing to shops such as 370 and 141a High Street, and
Page 6 of 26
26-32 Monson Street. The piecemeal commercialisation of the Character Area focussed on High Street, at the junctions of roads branching off it, and in particular roads connected with the east of the city, as seen in surviving shop frontages along Portland Street. Additional places of worship were built including the Central Methodist Church (1905) and the Hannah Memorial Chapel (1875) which was replaced by the Thomas Cooper Memorial Church in 1972. The Inter-War Period [1920-1945] saw the arrival of a variety of new amenities and architectural forms to High Street, notably in the construction of Lincoln’s first dedicated cinema The Ritz, which opened in 1937. With the advent of the private motorcar early in the 20th century, the first of three petrol stations in the Character Area was constructed at numbers 134-136 High Street. It survives today as a forecourt and retail unit set back from the road.
Figure 3 Former petrol station at 134-136 High Street
The townscape of the Character Area appears to have undergone little major change during the Post-War Period [1946-1966], although a handful of large shop frontages were created through the introduction of supermarkets at numbers 335-337 and 176-177 High Street, and the surviving row of railway offices was constructed at numbers 350-5. Although slight, these changes were a precursor to larger scale development during the Modern Period [1967-2008]. The construction of large-scale offices, services, retail units and associated parking, in the place of former Victorian shops and housing occurred in several places, including Homer House on Monson Street and car parking between King and Chaplin Streets. The departure of the East Midland Railway in 1985 opened up a considerable area of land around St. Mark’s station for development on both sides of High Street. Regeneration of the area has retained the former station, around which large-scale retail units and services, including the Magistrates Court and St. Mark’s shopping area, have overwritten the former railway landscape.
Urban form The Character Area comprises the stretch of High Street running from St. Peter at Gowt’s Church in the south to the railway crossing in the north. The area includes buildings facing onto High Street and their rear plots, in addition to commercial properties on roads leading off the street to the east and west. High Street forms the backbone to the lower part of Lincoln, acting as a busy southern gateway to the city, and as an important commercial amenity serving the city as a whole, as well as the residential communities situated either side of its length. Portland Street and the lower reaches of the Character Area are dominated by smaller more independently run shops, which contrast with the larger retail chains that predominate along north High Street and within St. Mark’s shopping centre.
Page 7 of 26
Figure 4 View south along High Street from the junction with Tentercroft Street
High Street functions as a dual carriageway for the majority of its length, although on-street parking and bus lanes frequently restrict traffic to the outside lanes. There are regular roads off High Street, the majority of which are Late Victorian/Edwardian in date, running roughly perpendicular to the main carriageway. Junctions with roads that bridge the River Witham to the west, or Sincil Dyke to the east, have higher levels of traffic (e.g. Portland, St. Mark’s and Monson Streets). Remaining roads are mainly disconnected from the wider city, many being narrow two-lane cul-de-sacs that provide access to a small number of commercial properties and residential housing either side of High Street. A number of small lanes of single car-width, (e.g. Tanner’s Lane, Anchor Street and the lane between 171 and 172 High Street) are found exclusively on the west side of the Character Area, and survive from the Early Industrial Period when they provided access between industries and docks on the River Witham and High Street. Roads off High Street, in particular the smaller lanes, frequently retain elements of the original street construction including pink granite carriageway sets, kerbs and channel slabs (e.g. Anchor Street) and white limestone cobbled edging and crossing points, and York stone kerbs. Footpaths along High Street are wide, and paved with a variety of materials including riven (e.g. outside St. Marks) and sawn York Stone slabs, concrete sets and slabs, and tarmac. Pavements along roads off High Street are comparatively narrower and are almost entirely of tarmac with concrete kerbing.

Figure 5 Anchor Street
As a result of the regular number of roads running east/west off High Street and pedestrianised access through St. Mark’s, the area is divided into rectangular urban blocks with their short axis aligned with High Street. Plot sizes within blocks vary, but are loosely rectangular in shape, with their shorter sides aligned parallel with High Street. The orientation of plots is strongly influenced by the pattern of medieval burgage plots, which ran east/west off High Street. Narrower plots are predominantly associated with buildings from the Late Victorian/Edwardian Period or earlier, whereas more modern buildings generally occupy larger and wider plots. Just to the rear of Late Victorian/Edwardian properties building plots are poorly defined, and are often amalgamated, such as at 374-371 High Street. More modern buildings generally occupy most if not all of their plots, notably around St. Marks and in the north of the Character Area (e.g. 179 and 335-7 High Street). With the exception of a number of larger religious and civic buildings (e.g. St. Peter at Gowt’s Church, The Magistrates Court and The Salvation Army Citadel), which are set back from the road in the middle of their plots, properties along High Street face out onto the road and form a continuous building line, being set at the back of the footway occupying the entire front width of their plots. Buildings within the Character Area vary somewhat in height, but are almost entirely two to three storeys in construction, creating a strong sense of enclosure throughout the Character Area, with the exception of more open space around St. Mark’s Square and within car parks to the north and south of King Street.
Page 9 of 26
Figure 6 St. Peter at Gowts Church and The Salvation Army Citadel. Note how both buildings have their gable ends
facing High Street, and the corner position of the Citadel is reflected in its form A key component of St. Peter at Gowts character is the lack of any clear building rhythm, which results from the great variety of building form, architectural style, construction and materials on properties dating from the High Medieval Era to the Modern Period. The diversity illustrates the plot-by-plot development of High Street, and the different status and function of buildings along its length. Areas of more coherent character, such as St. Mark’s and Portland Street represent more comprehensive phases of development during the Late/Victorian/Edwardian and Modern Periods. Buildings are of solid construction and are usually of small scale materials being mostly brick, although some, mainly Victorian or earlier properties, are constructed of stone (107-113 High Street, St. Mary’s Guildhall, and the DVLA offices on Firth Road). A limited number of buildings in the north of the Character Area are of timber-frame construction such as 173 High Street and Blandings Public House. A few buildings have timber constructions concealed by later additions, most notably the Early Modern merchant’s house ‘Whitefriars’ at 333 High Street, whose earlier southern façade is exposed in the passageway to the south. Late Victorian/Edwardian properties are predominantly built of red Albion bricks, in either Flemish or English bond. Modern brick-built properties are largely constructed of yellow brick in stretcher bond, especially in the area around St. Marks, although a small number of buildings are made of orange facing brick. Several buildings of Modern date have concrete structures clad with a variety of materials. A large number of buildings dating to the Late Victorian/Edwardian Period and earlier are painted or rendered (e.g. 125-133 High Street and 18-32 Portland Street). The majority of roofs are gabled with their ridgelines running parallel to the road and rarely form a continuous line. A few buildings such as 332, 381 and 384 High Street have hipped roofs. A number of more prominent properties, many of which have civic or religious functions, have their gable ends facing the High Street, such as The Salvation Army Citadel, The Magistrates’ Court, and corner buildings at 365-367 and 115 High Street. The change in roof alignment is an important characteristic of the Character Area, and distinguishes particular buildings of higher status from surrounding properties. The pitch of roofs varies, generally becoming increasingly shallow towards the Modern Period, with several flat roofs on buildings around St. Marks and at Sibthorp House, Iceland supermarket and Homer House. Pitched roofs are mainly of Welsh slate, although the Early Modern cottages at 107-113 High Street are roofed in pantiles. A variety of materials, including felt and corrugated steel sheeting, are used on more modern flat roofs. The majority of gabled roofs have plain closed verges, with shallow eaves which occasionally show plain decoration in the form of
Page 10 of 26
single or paired brackets and simple fascias, although some higher status buildings are more ornate, (e.g. St. Peter at Gowts’ vicarage and the former Lincoln Co-operative building at 137-140 High Street). Many buildings pre-dating the Modern Period retain chimneys, most of which are fairly tall brick structures with clay pots, built within the gable wall or passing through the ridgeline. Chimneys are generally plain, although more decorative examples with stone bracketing and oversailing brick courses survive on higher status buildings (e.g. St. Peter at Gowts’ vicarage, and 381 High Street.
Figure 7 Variation of shop fronts and building form at 160-167 High Street
At street level, the Character Area is dominated by active shop frontages throughout. Dating from the Post-Railway Expansion Period through to the modern day, shop frontages illustrate over 150 years of commercial activity along and around High Street, and are key elements of the area’s character. With the exception of purpose-built modern premises, shop frontages are mainly narrow, occupying individual terraced buildings (28-38 Portland Street), or dividing larger buildings into two or more retail units, such as at 381, 142 and 179 High Street. Frontages are diverse in style, showing heavy modification through re-use. Most are of wood, with shallow cornices and pilasters, which are either built in loose classical style or remain plain. Low stall risers are faced with a variety of materials and styles, the most common of which is wood with beaded panels. Smaller frontages are of two-bay width, many of which have splayed doorways to the side. Larger and/or more modern shops are generally of three-bay width, often with the door positioned centrally. Shops have large single-pane glass windows, or several large panes separated by mullions that, in general, are increasingly narrow with age. Shop fascias are bold and generally large in size, and are rarely integrated with the shop frontages, being mostly modern plastic signs which project from the main façade.
Page 11 of 26
Figure 8 Retail units within the former Headquarters of the
County Constabulary, at 381 High Street The scale and style of shopfronts around St. Marks changes dramatically, becoming much larger and diverse in style, and are often of a scale more usually associated with out-of-town retail units.
Figure 9 Large-scale retail units at St. Marks shopping centre
At ground level, buildings are characterised by frequent and large windows, resulting in a low solid-to-void ratio, and a general feeling of activity. In contrast, first and second floors have a much higher solid-to-void ratio, and are frequently less occupied. Windows are mainly vertical, and are usually comparatively smaller on the second floor than on the first. The majority of windows are sash windows with either single or multiple panes, although a small number of buildings have casement windows. Several buildings of Victorian/Edwardian date have first-floor, and occasionally second-floor, projecting timber bays, such as 128 and 174 High Street and 26 to 46 Portland Street. A large proportion of window openings have shallow brick arches, although many openings are rectangular, with lintels and sills accentuated in stone or concrete on older and modern buildings respectively. A small number of high-status buildings have complete stone surrounds such as the former County Constabulary headquarters at 381
Page 12 of 26
Monson Street and 162 to 164 High Street. Buildings on junctions tend to address the corner, and are usually of higher status, reflected in their scale and architectural style, such as at Tentercroft Street and the Salvation Army Citadel on Alfred Street. The pattern is a key feature of the Character Area and serves to distinguish High Street as the dominant highway in the south of Lincoln.
Figure 10 Three Storey corner building at 159-160 High Street
Buildings and yards to the rear of frontages along High Street, and roads branching off it, consist of a wide variety of small single-storey outbuildings and some light industrial buildings, many of which are vacant. The condition of buildings is generally poor such as 1 Portland Street and the converted chapel to the rear of 134 High Street, although the well-maintained Salvation Army Hall is a notable exception. Several buildings along roads off High Street have yards to the rear, with vehicle access through carriageway entrances, e.g. 7 and 24 Portland Street and 66 Monson Street. Many of the plots to the rear of buildings have been crudely amalgamated and are used for employee car parking. Larger areas of public car parking are also located to the east of High Street at Tentercroft Street and King Street. The Character Area contains several landmark buildings, all of which are along High Street, including The Ritz, the tower building at St. Marks station, St. Peter at Gowts Church and the Central Methodist Church. Many of the buildings occupy corner plots, and are prominent due to their height, architectural style, and function. The variety of historic monuments including St. Peter at Gowt’s church, St. Mary’s Guildhall, the former St Marks railway station and octagonal wheelhouse, and The Ritz, combine to illustrate the complex and sustained evolution of High Street from the High Medieval Era to the current day.
Page 13 of 26
Figure 11 Lincoln's first purpose built cinema 'The Ritz' at 145-146 High Street
Tree and vegetation cover within the Character Area is sparse, and is restricted to land around St. Peter at Gowt’s church, the Unitarian Chapel at 337 High Street, and in a small area of planting in St. Mark’s Square. A few heavily pruned trees stand on the south side of Portland Street, and may be a vestige of a former tree-lined avenue. Street furniture in the Character Area, a large proportion of which is road signage, is predominantly modern; however, a number of cast-iron street nameplates and rainwater channels survive from the Victorian period. A very limited number of painted advertisements survive on building facades, most noticeably on the south wall of 137 High Street.
Views Views northwards along High Street are dominated by the Cathedral. High Street changes direction in the south of the Character Area, aligning more closely with the Cathedral to give a sense of approach and access towards the city centre and its historic core. Elsewhere in the Character Area, views are confined by the near-continuous building line.
Condition of Buildings and Streetscape The condition of buildings in the Character Area is generally good, especially around St. Mark’s, and along High Street and Portland Street, where shopfronts are well maintained. However, the condition of first and second floor front facades is more variable, and many show signs of neglect. Many buildings along roads just off High Street are dilapidated, showing signs of prolonged periods of inoccupation. Furthermore, several older buildings appear structurally instable, such as 1 Portland Street and Curtis’ former abattoir on St. Mark’s Street.
Page 14 of 26
Figure 12 Number 9 Monson Street
Outbuildings and yards to the rear of High Street frontages are in variable condition, with many properties unoccupied and derelict. Open space, including yards and car parking, frequently appear poorly maintained and rundown. The quality of the streetscape varies immensely in the Character Area, with St. Mark’s being notably more improved than other areas. Varying materials used on pavements along High Street give the streetscape an inconsistent character, especially around surviving areas of earlier granite, limestone and York stone. Carriageways, including High Street itself, appear to be in good condition.
Use The majority of buildings are used for commercial purposes, including retail and office space. Several properties are more service based e.g. healthcare, restaurant, and personal finance. National retail chains dominate shops in the north of the Character Area, while more southerly premises are predominantly occupied by independent enterprises. Residential dwellings are few, and mainly located along Portland Street and above shopfronts. High Street carries large volumes of traffic entering and leaving the south of Lincoln, and roads branching off it carry traffic moving east/west through the lower inner city.
Relationship to City and Surrounding Areas The Character Area has an important commercial function, both for Lincoln as a whole, and as a more local amenity for residents either side of High Street. The Character Area also contains a large number of independent businesses, and as a result, is an important area for Lincoln’s local economy. The Character area is also an important component of the Lincoln’s transport network, especially for traffic in the south of the city. East/west roads carry considerably less traffic, but are important bridging points across the River Witham and Sincil Dyke.

Key Townscape Characteristics • The Character Area is strongly influenced by High Street, an historic road leading south from the city since the Roman era. The alignment
of the road is orientated towards the city centre and the Cathedral • The variety of building character within the Character Area demonstrates the continual change and re-development of High Street as the
main commercial and transport route in Lincoln, especially during the High Medieval and Victorian/Edwardian Expansion periods • Many earlier townscape elements survive, including:
o High Street follows the approximate route of Ermine Street, an early Roman road o Alignment of medieval burgage plots in the orientation of building plots and roads running perpendicular off High Street o The former Midland Railway Station and associated infrastructure o Buildings of medieval date (e.g. St. Mary’s Guildhall, St. Peter at Gowts Church) o Streets and buildings from the period of Victorian/Edwardian expansion
• The majority of properties are occupied, and are mainly commercial premises. More independent shops are located in the south of the Character Area in comparison to larger-scale purpose-built retail outlets in the north, especially around St. Mark’s
• High Street and roads branching off it form an important part of Lincoln’s road network both for traffic entering the city from the south, and access to residential areas to the east
• High volumes of traffic in conjunction with the busy commercial character give the area a good sense of vitality • The Character Area is mostly made up of small urban blocks which allow good access to the east and west of High Street, and across the
River Witham and Sincil Dyke • Building density is high, with deep and narrow plots leading off High Street containing older properties, and squarer plots around more
modern premises • Modern properties tend to fill their entire plots, while older properties fill the entire width of their plots, they often retain open space to the
rear • There are several landmark buildings within the Character Area, including St. Mary’s Guildhall, St. Peter at Gowt’s Church, The Ritz, and the
Lincoln Unitarian Chapel on Monson Street • There is an observable pattern between civic/ecclesiastical buildings and the manner by which they address High Street. In particular their
gable ends front High Street, and buildings are set back from footpath and are relatively taller than other buildings in Character Area • The character of the townscape has several largely common features, including:
o Use of small-scale materials in building construction o Buildings located at the back of the public footpath o Frontages are mainly active, with the exception of small inactive facades just off High Street o Low solid-to-void ratio on the ground floor, changing to a high solid-to-void ratio in upper floors o Buildings heights of two to three storeys o Pitched roofs with ridgelines parallel to the road unless the building is of a higher status (e.g. religious/civic)
• Shop frontages strongly contribute to the Character Area and combine to demonstrate changing of retail activity from the Early Industrial Period to the modern day
• Properties within the Character Area have undergone a high degree of alteration as a result of the changing functions of premises • Buildings within the Character Area show great variety in architectural style, form, decorative detailing and materials • Space to the rear of properties fronting High Street mainly includes one-storey outbuildings and small yards, many of which are in poor
condition. The area forms an indistinct transition between residential areas and High Street. • Corner buildings respect High Street and are an important part of its character, their prominent positions are often emphasised in their
architecture, style and form • St. Marks is a distinct area with a strong historical and commercial relationship with High Street. Buildings are more uniform, being large in
scale, occupying their entire plots. Facades are mainly constructed of yellow brick, with notably high solid-to-void ratios.
