Annex 4

Local Note Buildings

The following buildings are considered to be suitable for inclusion on a list
of buildings that by virtue of their architectural or historic interest, or the
role that they play in the street scene, are considered to contribute to the
local heritage of lckford. Building descriptions are from an external visual
inspection only – there may be further architectural information that could
assist with dating.
In general the list includes only those buildings that have not been greatly
altered, or suffered loss of components such as historic windows. Where there
th
are a number of buildings of a similar age and style, eg 19 century cottages,
(which remain in some numbers, particularly along Bridge Road), only those
that play a definitive role in the streetscene are included. Some buildings are
included because they form part of a group of historic buildings.
