WORCESTER
SO8454NE HIGH STREET
620-1/16/340 (West side)
22/05/54 No.61
GV II
Corner terraced house, now offices. c1710 with later additions
and alterations. Red brick with painted stone dressings; stone
shop-front; tall steeply-pitched plain clay tile roof, hipped to
right, stack to right-return at right of front roof slope,
corbelled top. Moulded timber modillion eaves cornice. Lead
hopper head and downpipe. Rectangular plan originally probably
single-depth, double-fronted with entrance from Broad Street. 3
storeys with basement and attic. 3 first-floor windows. Stone
detailing includes rusticated quoins, moulded sills, inscribed
capped keystones to window heads, those to first-floor linked by
moulded band. Ground-floor is ashlar below moulded sill band with
banded rustication above, entablature with modillion cornice;
engaged columns capped by moulded and carved console brackets
support head of former corner entrance, now late C20 canted bay
window. 3/6 sashes to first-floor, 6/6 to second-floor, late C20
8/8 to ground-floor, all in ear-flush-frames under flat gauged
brick arches. Pedimented dormer with pair of 3-pane side-hung
casements. Return elevation to Broad Street is similar with 5
first-floor windows and 3 dormers, latter have 4-pane and 10-pane
casements. New entrance inserted c1989 to each elevation in
former window opening.
INTERIOR: probable original detail obscured by inserted late C20
ceilings.
HISTORICAL NOTE: The stone-faced ground-floor is believed to
relate to use of these premises (& part of No.62 adjoining) as a
bank. Photographic evidence from c1910 shows the premises as the
'London City & Midland Bank' (later to become the 'Midland
Bank').
Note: 61 High Street incorporates many of the features that
typify the finest Georgian buildings of Worcester. In particular
comparisons should be drawn with No.2 The Cross (qv) and 6-9
Cornmarket (qv).
