SD4761NE CHAPEL STREET 1685-1/7/67 (West side) No.11 Abbott's Stained Glass Workshop
GV II
House and warehouse, now shop and stained glass workshop. Mid C18 with warehouse added late C18, and C19 alterations. Coursed and squared sandstone and sandstone rubble with slate roofs. Main house of L-plan, with a double-depth front range, and with a rear wing on the left which is linked to a warehouse range with its gable to Butterfield Street and its main elevation to Dye House Lane. The Chapel Street elevation is of 3 storeys above a cellar, and 3 bays with chamfered quoins and a plain frieze at the level of the second-floor window lintels. The ground floor is occupied by a shop front of c1900 which returns around the corner of Butterfield Street. All the windows have raised plain surrounds and are sashed without glazing bars. The right-hand gable has a rounded coping with kneelers, and a chimney stack, rebuilt in brick. The warehouse at the rear is of narrow rectangular plan and of 3 storeys above cellars, with a 3-bay gable facing Butterfield Street. This has openings with plain stone surrounds, and a central doorway on the ground floor. None of the joinery is original - the windows are mainly sashed. The elevation to Dye House Lane is of 5 irregular bays and has openings with plain reveals and altered joinery. INTERIOR: the main house has a dogleg mahogany stair at the left towards the rear, with open string, wreathed and ramped handrail, Tuscan columns as newels, and 3 turned balusters per tread. A half-landing gives access to the workshop in the former warehouse at the rear, and a straight flight to the second storey leads off the main landing. The balusters of the landing and upper flight are more widely spaced. On the first floor of the main building are workshops with raised and fielded panels to their doors. The rear warehouse has timber floors supported on timber beams and contains workshops on 3 storeys linked by straight flights of stairs, with timber work benches and storage racks. On the second floor there is a disused gas-fired kiln of brick with iron doors, probably of late C19 or early C20 date. HISTORY: Abbott and Co. were founded in 1860 and still occupy their original premises.
