GV II
Fragments of hypocaust in former Roman praetorium, then probably site of 2 medieval undercrofts and town houses. Rebuilt c1913 and now a double shop at street level and a public house at Row level and above. The expression is similar to Nos 12 & 14 Street (qv), probably by RW Boden. Timber frame with plaster panels; slate roof, ridge parallel with street. EXTERIOR: the modern shopfronts, of no interest, have a rear passage to north with C18 brick face towards the rear. The Row front has a recent brick south pier, 5 timber-clad stanchions and a post through street and Row storeys at the north-west corner; false framing on north side; a central post rises from the Row stallboard, set back from the frontage; timber handrail on ornate mild steel balusters. Mock timber-framed pub front of no interest. The upper storeys of possibly false timber framing are in a simpler version of the expression of Nos 12 & 14 Row (qv). Attenuated jetties at Row bressumer and beneath eaves; 4 leaded cross-windows to each storey. The northernmost property on the now shortened Row. INTERIOR: the shop floor is approx 1m below pavement level, with no cellar apparent. 10 sandstone hypocaust pillars stand in situ at the north-east corner of the shop. Other surfaces in shop and public house are covered, with no features of special interest visible. (Chester Rows Research Project: Harris R: Northgate Street: 1989-; Improvement Committee Minutes: Chester City Council: 16/10/1912).
