1. Introduction
This appraisal is part of a review of the historic districts and suburbs of Taunton. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the architectural quality and historic interest of the townscapes in these localities and to establish which parts are ‘special’ and worthy of either retention as ‘conservation areas’ or designation as new or extended conservation areas.1 This appraisal covers the district to the west of the Church of St John the Evangelist, Park Street, and south of Somerset College of Art and Technology (SCAT) on Wellington Road. It includes the existing Park Street Conservation Area, which was designated by Taunton Deane Borough Council on 15 January 1975, and first revised on 12 November 1998 (see Map 1). The document is to be read in conjunction with the ‘Taunton Conservation Area Review: Supporting Document’.
2. Preparation and Community Involvement The appraisal was prepared by Somerset County Council’s Historic Environment Service on behalf of Taunton Deane Borough Council between December 2005 and June 2009.2
The review of Taunton’s conservation areas was advertised in the local paper and to local amenity bodies. Displays were organised at Deane House and Taunton Library with staff on hand at Deane House on 23 February 2007 to answer queries. This appraisal and the proposed boundary revisions were adopted by Taunton Deane Borough Council on 11 February 2010.
3. Summary of Special Interest To the west of the Church of John the Evangelist is a small Victorian suburb, which is, arguably, the foremost example of its type in the County. The suburb was developed over a short period for the growing number of clerks, tradesmen and professionals and still retains a strong collection of High-Victorian Gothic and Italianate terraces and villas composed around the Grade II* listed Church.
1 Conservation areas are designated by local authorities in fulfilment of section 69 of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, which defines them as “areas of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. Further information on the legislative background to conservation areas is set out in the Supporting Document. 2 The review survey, appraisal, and production of the report were undertaken by Mr Nicholas Wall, Historic Environment Officer – Conservation, and reviewed by Mr Russell Lillford, Group Manager, both of Somerset County Council’s Historic Environment Service.
Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 4
Later Victorian villas and terraces of individual quality continue along the north side of the Wellington Road. These properties form an extensive frontage to one of the Taunton’s principal approaches and are a compliment to the group of fine Victorian houses near the Church.
4. Location and Setting
The appraisal encompasses the historic areas of Cann’s Field and the Bishop’s Hull road on which the late 19th century expansion of Taunton was focused. These areas are now the western half of Park Street, St John’s Road, Compass Hill and the north side of Wellington Road up to SCAT (see Map1). The appraisal area is predominantly low lying and on the edge of the River Tone flood plain, with Compass Hill rising sharply to the south. It sits between the modern town centre to the east and the 1930s Musgrove housing estate to the south and west. Park Street and Wellington Road is the principal western approach to Taunton. The appraisal includes part of the Musgrove Estate along the south side of Wellington Road as context to the earlier development on the north side.
5. Economic and Social Profile
The district has remained primarily residential but with many of its substantial terraces and villas now in multi-occupational or guesthouse use. This is fuelled by its edge of centre location, its large scale housing stock and the proximity of SCAT.
Within, or close to, this district are a number of large non-residential developments: the education campus of SCAT and The Castle School; the cemetery ground; and a large supermarket. The other notable use in this area is the extent of land given over to car parking (see Map 2).
6. Historic Development and Archaeology This section should be read in conjunction with the Historic Development
sections of the neighbouring ‘St Paul’s and Shuttern Area Appraisal’ and the ‘Brief History of Taunton’ in the Supporting Document.
6.1 Early 19th Century (1800 – 1837)
The area remained largely undeveloped until the mid 19th century. By the 1820s there was some development on Cann Street (see St Paul’s & Shuttern Area Appraisal) but Cann’s Field (or Cans Field) was rural. In Edward Goldsworthy’s recollections of the late 1820s it is described as still being an open field, crossed by a footpath to the Bishop’s Hull Road, and in which stood a linhay and stable, an open stagnant pond and a ditch.3 The linhay and stable could be the field

Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 5
buildings depicted on the 1821 Wilton Parish Map (Map 4) and Wood’s 1840 Plan (Map 5).4 Goldsworthy also recalls that at this time the only houses between the Sugar Loaf Inn at the bottom of Cann Street and Bishop’s Hull were Henley House, Woodbine and Mountway Cottages.5 Routeways & Canns Gate: The lack of development in this area was likely due to controls imposed by the Gale Family of St Paul’s House (see St Paul’s and Shuttern Appraisal). From as least 1706 they had erected a locked gate across the western route from the town (modern Park Street) claiming it to be a private road.6 This restriction is thought to have promoted the greater use of the alternative western route along the high ground of Upper High Street and Shuttern. The western route then continued down Compass Hill and onto the Bishop’s Hull road (Wellington Road), which was in existence by this period.7 The location of this gate would appear to be at Cann’s Field, and Goldsworthy’s recollections are again helpful: “At the corner of Cann Street stood the “Sugar Loaf” Inn, and close to it a clapping-gate, which admitted you into Cann’s Field, through which a footpath ran and took you into Bishop’s Hull Road through another small gate. . . . I recollect seeing a bar or rope drawn across the road by the “Sugar loaf” Inn, to prevent carriages or carts passing through the field”.8 ‘Cans Gate’ is marked at the west end of the footpath on Ham’s 1821 Sketch of Taunton, and ‘Canns Gate’ is marked near the Sugar Loaf inn on the 1821 Wilton Parish Map (see Maps 3 & 4 respectively).9 This gate, or gates, forced traffic from the Castle west gate or Hunts Court (Bath Place) to divert up Cann Street towards the Honiton Road (Trull Road) and the turnpike gate before dropping back down Compass Hill, just as the gyratory works today.
6.2 Mid to Late 19th Century (1837 – 1901) Cann’s Field and the fields to the north were to be transformed into the western expansion of Taunton over a very short period in the mid-to-late 19th century. Development of the area started with the laying out of Park Street (west) in 1847
4 Map of the Parish of Wilton 1821 and the 1840 Plan of Taunton by John Wood. 5 Goldsworthy (1976) p. 4. Henley House is identified on Ham and Leversedge’s 1849 Plan of Taunton (see Map 6) and may survive as no. 66 Wellington Road. The First Edition Ordnance Survey (6 inches to one mile) identifies Woodbine Lodge as having stood to the west of Rose Mount (72 Wellington Road), possibly as the lodge to Long Run Farm. The site is now the exit road from Somerset College. Mountway Cottages are also identified on the First Edition OS but since replaced by the housing on the south side of Mountway Lane. 6 Bush (1977) p.29, and Gathercole (2002) p. 38 and 39. 7 Gathercole (2002) Maps C & D. 8 Bentley (1985) p. 54, and Goldsworthy (1976) p. 4. 9 Sketch of the Town of Taunton 1821 and Map of the Parish of Wilton 1821.

followed by a flurry of building activity between the mid 1850s and 1860s (see Maps 5 and 6). This was a new neighbourhood for the growing number of clerks, successful tradesmen and professionals at a time of national prosperity. By the survey date of the First Edition Ordnance Survey, 1886, the development was near complete (see Map 7). Canns Gate & Park Street: The dispute over crossing Cann’s Field resulted in “a long and expensive trial” in the 1830s between the window of Colonel Pearson of the Grove and Mr Coles of Paul’s House to determine if the public had the right to cross the land with vehicles.10 The outcome of this trial is not mentioned in the sources but in 1840 Cann’s Field was sold for building and in 1847 the Turnpike Trust opened the western section of Park Street on the alignment of the previously disputed track.11 Historic photographs indicate that the new road was laid out with an avenue of edge-of-kerb pleached trees, as was typical of the time and which still survive in a few of Taunton’s streets.12 The houses on the north side were mainly erected by Taunton builder Henry Davis of Billetfield House, including Cannsfield House (now Corner House Hotel)
in 1856, which was designed by local architect Charles Edmund Giles.13 Wellington New Road (west of the appraisal area): The construction of the Wellington New Road in 1838 was one of the few new roads laid out by the Taunton Turnpike Trust in the 19th century.14 It allowed the route to Wellington to bypass Galmington and Bishop’s Hull. Church of St John the Evangelist: St John’s Church was the second new church to be funded by the Rev Frederick Jeremiah Smith.15 It was designed by (Sir) George Gilbert Scott in a rich Early English style and constructed by Henry Davis.16 The church’s foundation stone was laid by the Reverend’s 10 year old son, Frederick John, in 1858 and the church was consecrated in 1863. The Rev Smith left Trinity Church (his first church funding) to be the first incumbent at St John’s. West of England Dissenters School, Wellington Terrace: The West of England Dissenters’ Proprietary School was established in Wellington Terrace, Wellington Road in 1847 (now 38 to 48 Wellington Road).17 A new school site was planned on the land of Mount Nebo House, Trull Road, but this met with

opposition from Squire Marshall whose house, Belmont, stood opposite. He bought out the contract and so forced the Dissenters’ School to find its new site at Fairwater, where it reopened in 1870. At about the same time changing its name to The Independent College. The school had a further name change in 1899 to Taunton School by which it is known today. Wellington Terrace went on to house Palmer’s School for Boys. Henley House: Identified by Edward Goldsworthy as being a public house in the mid or late 19th century.18 Nos. 20, 22 and 24 Wellington Road: The properties of Willow Bourne, Myrtle Cottage and Hawthorne Cottages were constructed in circa 1878 by painters Alfred and William Alfred Stansell.19 Henley Lodge, Wellington Road: The house was completed in 1883 by Taunton builder Alfred Maynard.20 The house stayed in the ownership of the Maynard family until 1922 (see also 20th Century entry). St John’s Nursery: The First Edition Ordnance Survey identified the land behind the north side of Park Street as being one of the many nurseries on the edge of the town. Steps Water: The 1840 and 1849 plans identify Steps Water as being where the Galmington Stream was crossed by the Bishop’s Hull road, near no. 29 Wellington Road, with the later plan showing a distinct widening of the road alongside the stream. By the date of the First Edition Ordnance Survey (1888) the alignment of the water courses altered and Steps Water referred to the channel of today.
6.3 20th Century The 20th century continued to bring considerable change, mainly through outward development with new residential estates to the south of Wellington Road and the large education complexes to the north. The areas of established Victorian housing were subject to significant changes from highway ‘improvements’ and towards the end of the century from increasing in fill development. No. 50 Wellington Road: A ‘New Cottage Residence at Stepswater’ for F.J. Spiller, constructed in 1909. The plans for the house were submitted by J. Spiller of Mountfield, Taunton.21
18 Goldsworthy (1976) p. 4. 19 SRO Ref: DD\DP/68/4. The 6” to 1 mile First edition Ordnance Survey identifies Willow Bourne house as being no. 20 Wellington Road. The architectural detailing in the terrace of no. 20 to 28 does show a difference in style between no. 20 to 24 and 26 to 28, supporting the later two dwellings being a later addition. 20 Personal communications with Mr John Garrett. John and Shirley Garrett undertook a detailed researched of the history of the house for its centenary. The house has a date shield of ‘AM 1880’.
Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 8
Henley Lodge and the Beehive School, Wellington Road: Between 1929 and 1943 the house was occupied by Henry Colthurst, a prominent Taunton timber merchant.22 In 1944 it housed nurses for the American Army hospital at Musgrove Park. In 1947 it was purchased by sisters Ethel and Annie Grange as the new home for their Beehive School of St. George’s Terrace, Middleway. The school continued as a private junior school until 1999 when the head teacher John Garrett retired. Staff and pupils transferred to Wellington School, with whom there were close links, and the house was converted to four flats and its grounds developed for housing.
Allotment Gardens: The 1931 Edition Ordnance Survey shows allotment gardens along the south side of Wellington Road. These were extended at the start of WWII as part of the ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign.23
Musgrove Estate: The land to the south of the Bishop’s Hull road remained as allotments and farmland until the early 1900s. The first development came with the construction of the three large detached houses on Compass Hill by at least the end of the 1920s. This was followed with the first leg of Manor Road in circa 1930, and the start of the Musgrove Estate. The majority of the estate was completed over the next decade and composed of good quality individual housing, although the west end, opposite nos. 70 and 72 Wellington Road, was not completed until after WWII. Marshalsea Garage: The established Taunton garage of Marshalsea Brother Limited opened a new motorcar workshop on the site of an old skating rink on Wellington Road in 1920 in addition to their premises and showroom on East Street and workshop on Paul Street.24 A showroom was added to the Wellington Road site by 1922. Marshalsea’s maintained a showroom, workshop and filling station on this site until the end of the century. RAF Maintenance Unit: During the Second World War a RAF Maintenance Unit was based on a large site to the north of Marshalsea’s Garage and either side of Steps Water.25 Builder’s Yard, No. 11 Park Street: For much of the 20th century the gap in the south terrace of Park Street was occupied by a builder’s yard. The local directories record Hartnell Brothers occupying the site from the late 1920s to the
21 The date is taken from the approved building control plans submitted to Taunton Town Council. The handwritten entries on the plans appear to be signed by W.G. Spiller on behalf of J.T. Spiller. 22 Personal communications with Mr John Garrett. 23 Bush (1988) p. 108. 24 SRO D\B\TA/24/1/50/801, /52/885, /55/952 and other Taunton Town Council Building Control records. The skating rink may be identified by a large rectangle on the 1905 Second Edition 6” to 1 mile Ordnance Survey. The 1931 Edition and 1938 Provisional Ordnance Surveys show the garage and workshops in this location. 25 Somerset HER Primary Ref.

early 1950s. 26 The site was then home to C .S. Williams, including offices at no. 13 by 1973, until the company relocated in the mid 1980s. The rear yard was redeveloped for Dovetail Court. 27 Taunton Technical College, Wellington Road (adjoining the appraisal area): The first phase of the new home for the Taunton Technical College opened in 1959 on Wellington Road.28 The college has its roots in both the Mechanics’ Institute founded in Paul Street in 1830, which then moved to Bath Place in 184029, and the Technical Institute, which opened on Upper High Street in 1891 and then became the Municipal Technical Institute on Corporation Street in 1900 (now the Moat House), before moving to the Bishop Fox’s School buildings in Staplegrove Road. The Somerset College of Art also left Corporation Street to merge with the Taunton Technical College and in 1974 the complex became the Somerset College of Art and Technology. Taunton Youth and Community Centre, Castle Street: The Centre was constructed in the early 1970s and closed by the end of the 1990s due to asbestos in the building. The empty building was soon subject to an arson attach. The site was cleared and left vacant.
Tesco Supermarket and Castle Street: The supermarket was constructed circa 2001 on a site agglomerated from Marshalsea’s Garage, SCAT Mechanical workshops a County Council temporary staff car park. The development also included the extension of Castle Street onto Wellington Road.
6.4 Archaeology The appraisal area contains few known significant archaeological remains. Reference to the Somerset Historic Environment Record (SHER) will give an up-to-date record of archaeological sites and evaluations.
7. Spatial Analysis 7.1 Urban Structure
19th Century Pattern of Development: Early development displays a very consistent pattern: rows of large terrace houses inter-dispersed with detached or paired villas. All are set back from the road with substantial front gardens that are an important part of their appearance. The exception to this is on the south side of Park Street where the terraces are close to the back of the pavement. 19th Century Storey height: The large terraces of Park Street and Wellington Road are predominantly three-storey, with some two and two-and-a half storey development. The large villas and houses are similarly of two or three-storeys.

Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 10
The height of the houses in St John’s Road is reduced reflecting the secondary nature of this road.
Park Street Composition: Park Street is developed on a clever composition of buildings and space. The Corner House Hotel marks the beginning of the wide, tapering space of Park Street. This space is flanked by majestic terraces and punctuated by the Church of St John the Evangelist.
7.2 Views and Landmarks
Park Street Vista: An important part of the Park Street composition is the picturesque view of the Church from the west of Park Street. This view is framed by the Corner House Hotel and the rounded end of no. 15 Park Street, with the eye directed to the Church by the perspective of the terraces.
Corner House Hotel: This playful and striking building is a significant eye-
catcher and clever pivot to the junction of Park Street and Wellington Road. Church of St John: Being visible from many locations within and outside of the appraisal area, this building is the dominant landmark on the west side of Taunton.
8. Architecture 8.1 19th Century Architectural Style
Almost all the notable buildings in the appraisal area date from the mid-to-late 19th century, an interesting period in architectural development.
The second half of the 19th century saw a reaction against the earlier ‘drab’ classicism of the Regency terrace. The result was a broad split in taste between an enlivened form of classicism (based on the rustic architecture of the Italian Renaissance palazzo), and a flamboyant and decorative form of Gothic architecture, with both borrowing heavily from each other. This created an eclectic ‘Victorian’ style and the two strands are well illustrated in the appraisal area. The serene villas and houses on Wellington Road demonstrate Italianate classicism, whereas High-Victorian Gothic can be seen in full glory in the elaborately buildings on the north side of Park Street.
The prosperity of the time and the desire to improve home-and-garden is evident in the quality of the 19th century housing, and reflected today in the high concentration of listed buildings on Park Street and Wellington Road.
8.2 19th Century Façade Materials Italianate Classicism and High-Victorian Gothic architecture introduced a wide mix of warm and colourful stone and brick to building facades, chosen carefully for their effect and use with detailing.
Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 11
Local red, pink and brown brick is extensively used for the main façade elevations, enriched to various degrees with brick or stone banding and colourful polychrome dressings, in particular alternate coloured voussoirs. Stone comes to the fore on the façades of Bath House (Bath stone), the Church of St John (Westover stone), and most strikingly on the row of 16 to 20 Park Street (red and green sandstone and Ham stone). The other important stone is the local Morte Slate (Monkton Ragstone) used for ‘lesser’ garden walls and gable and rear elevations.
8.3 19th Century Roof Materials
Slate is the predominant roofing material, regrettably replaced by artificial slate in some instances. Bridgwater clay tiles of various types is the other common roof covering. For both slate and tiles there are delightful examples of decorative banding and diapering with scallop slates and ornamental tiles.
8.4 19th Century Architectural Detailing
The 19th century buildings of the appraisal area have a rich collection of architectural detailing reflecting the eclectic nature of Victorian architecture and its two broad styles.
Italianate Classicism: The characterised detailing for the Italianate villa and terrace include projecting bracketed eaves, hipped and pediment gables, round-headed arches, and canted bays, arranged in a playful classical manner. High-Victorian Gothic: The High-Victorian Gothic buildings have a broad range of architectural detailing, which on the best buildings form a rich but controlled façade with a strong vertical emphasis. Typical features include forward gables with elaborate barge boards, ridge and finial decoration, turrets, gabled dormers, pierced parapets and balustrades, canted bays, paired front doors with round-headed arches, pointed lancet windows, tracery, and carved Gothic capitals.
8.5 20th Century Architecture
The mid 20th century two-storey houses on the south side of Compass Hill and Wellington Road are typically two–storeys, detached and influenced by the domestic revival style of the period. The treatment of the façades is either of light render or soft local red brick, and steeply pitched roofs in local plain clay tiles, although occasionally in Roman tiles. The majority of the houses have lost their small pained timber casements to UPVC replacement windows.
8.6 Listed Buildings and Important Unlisted Buildings
The appraisal area has a high concentration of listed and unlisted positive buildings.30 These are identified on the Townscape Appraisal Map (Map 8) and set out in the schedules of Appendices A and E. Appendix F has a list of the
30 “Unlisted positive buildings” are defined in section B4 of the Supporting Document.
Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 12
most significant unlisted positive buildings, which could be considered as ‘buildings of local interest’.
9. Street Scene 9.1 Walls and Gate Piers Wall and their piers are a key component of the townscape in the appraisal area,
as recorded on the Townscape Appraisal Map (Map 8) and in the schedule of Appendix B. The predominant wall materials are lias, Morte slate and red and buff brick. Those walls of particular note are described below:
Park Street Terrace Frontage Walls and Piers: The contemporary frontage walls to the High-Victorian terraces on the north side of Park Street form a continuous and good quality boundary of red brick with freestone oolitic limestone copings and caps despite some unfortunate rebuilding. Wellington Road Morte Slate Frontage Wall: Along the front of no. 34 Wellington Road, Wellington Terrace and nos. 50 to 60 Wellington Road are similar intermittent Morte slate frontage walls that suggest they were once part of the same length of highway wall. The wall being breached and replaced in part as development occurred throughout the 19th century.
9.2 Railings and Gates Good quality historic ironwork is notably lacking from the appraisal area, partly due to the dominance of boundary walls rather than full height railings, and the likely removal of wall top railings for wartime salvage. A circa 1900 print of the Church of St John the Evangelist depicts fine cast iron vertical bar railings to the boundary wall with globe lanterns to the piers of the church, and looping railings on the front wall of no. 29 Park Street.31 The railings that do survive are recorded on the Townscape Appraisal Map (Map 8) and include a short section of fine wrought iron railings on the front wall of no. 4 Wellington Road, the gate to the same property, and a length of 20th century vertical bar railings along Marshalsea Walk.
9.3 Trees, Hedges and Green Space
Villa Garden Shrubbery and Trees: The villas and terraces of Park Street and Wellington Road enjoy substantial Victorian front gardens that were intended to offer a pleasing setting to the house and screen to the road. The presence, or not, of trees, hedging and other greenery in these gardens is very noticeable. Where it survives it frames buildings and softens the busy Wellington Road. Where it is lost, normally to parking or gravel gardens, the buildings appear bare and the area degraded.
31 Goodman (1900) p. 38 and 39.
Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 13
Prominent Trees: Wellington Road has a number of mature and impressive coniferous and deciduous trees that compliment and balance the large 19th century villas and terraces. There is also a cluster of mature trees retained around the Magistrates Court that may originate from the previous St John’s Nursery, and a small mixed clump that form an attractive feature to the frontage of SCAT and which may originate from the garden of the former Woodbine Lodge (see 6.1). A full list of the prominent trees can be found in Appendix C. Predominant Tree Species: The low level of tree cover, of which much is specimen planting, makes it unreasonable to identify typical tree species for the district. However, the most prominent are ash, horse chestnut and Scots pine.
9.4 Public Realm
Groundscape: No historic paving was evident on the surface except for a small area of brick paving to the outbuildings behind Wellington Terrace. However, it is possible that early pitching, stone paving or terracotta paviers underlie modern surface treatment.
Highway Ironmongery: A small number of early 20th century local foundry cast iron gullies and covers survive on Park Street and Wellington Road and the roads to the south. These are set out in Appendix D and on Map 9.
9.5 Other Features of Interest Gaol Stream Steps: To the rear of no. 1 St John’s Road are stone steps leading down to the Gaol Stream.
10. Damage & Deterioration 10.1 Principal Negative Features
The negative features of the appraisal area are identified on the Townscape Assessment Plan (Map 8.) and in Appendices A and B. Of these, the following aspects have a particularly negative impact upon the character and appearance of the area’s townscape: a) Inappropriate Infill Development: A degree of ‘infill’ and ‘back land’
development has taken place with varying success. This type of development is often harmful due to the difficulty of successfully inserting new buildings into the established pattern and character of an historic area. The district has experiences the following negative impact from such development: i) the introduction of inappropriate building form, scale, and design; ii) the loss of original boundaries and gardens and changes to the
characteristic pattern of development; iii) the use of front areas for parking rather than rear land which has been lost
to infill development; and iv) the introduction of, or widening of, highway accesses with the erosion of
good frontage boundary treatment.
Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 14
b) Alterations and Extensions to Historic Buildings: There are several long-
standing and inappropriate alterations to listed and historic buildings within the appraisal area, of which the most notable are: i) the loss of original windows and their inappropriate replacements; ii) unsightly 20th century dormer windows; and iii) inappropriate extensions.
c) Replaced and Removed Front Walls, Railing & Gates: Front garden walls,
railing and gates are an important component of the townscape, both architecturally and as delineation between public and private space. Their loss to wartime scrap, inappropriate replacement or neglect, or demolition for vehicle access is a serious problem and one that has a severe cumulative impact.
d) Paved-Over Front Areas: A good proportion of the district’s front gardens
have been paved to provide hard standing for residents parking. The greenery of others has been lost for ‘low maintenance’ gardening, especially those of rented multi-occupancy properties. Again, the cumulative impact is severe.
e) Large Refuse Bins and Stores: The north side of Park Street is blighted by
a large number of large refuse bins and their stores. f) Highway Works and Apparatus: The need to accommodate high volumes
of traffic and ensure pedestrian safety along Wellington Road and Park Street has led to a considerable amount of unattractive and large-scale traffic control lighting, highway signage, guard rails, road paint and highway ‘island’. The Wellington Road/Castle Street junction has no less than 37 highway poles or columns. These highway interventions regrettably downgrade the appearance of the district and threaten its residential character.
g) Open Street Frontage: The Tesco car park forms a regrettable open
frontage to the Wellington Road.
10.2 General Condition and Buildings at Risk Buildings at Risk: The external appearance of the listed no. 72 Wellington Road suggests that the building is in a poor state of repair from a lack of care and maintenance. It has also recently suffered the loss of its front veranda and is, thus, considered to be in the ‘A’ category of ‘immediate risk of further rapid deterioration’. The grounds are also in a sorry state and the roof to the rear outbuilding may require attention. Unlisted Historic Buildings: None of the unlisted historic buildings within the appraisal area appear to be specifically at risk, but there are signs of poor maintenance and creeping alterations to a number, particularly those in multi-occupancy use.
Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 15
Front Walls and Piers: This important element of the townscape has suffered acutely from neglect, deliberate removal, replacement, and the loss of their iron railing and gates.
10.3 Threats and Pressures
The main threats to the townscape within the appraisal area are likely to be a continuation of the current causes of degradation:
a) Alterations and Extensions to Historic Buildings: Many of the large
historic houses in multiple occupancy face continued pressure for alteration, often from the incremental demands to improve standards of comfort, safety and energy consumption.
b) Pressure for Infill Development: The current pressure to develop rear
gardens as ‘brownfield’ sites and the appraisal area’s attraction for near-to-town-centre flats continue to draw attention for further back land development.
c) Degradation of Front Gardens for Parking: The pressure for convenient
off-street parking in this district is strong due to the current parking restrictions and its near town-centre location. Once one front garden wall is breached the taboo is broken, and frequent changes in ownership can often accelerate such changes.
10.4 Lost Buildings and Features
Nos. 5 & 7 Compass Hill: These villas would have been suitable for inclusion in the conservation area as a pair of good late 19th century houses and as part of the cohesive mid-to-late 19th century suburban development around the church. However, the houses have been demolished and the site redeveloped during the preparation of this appraisal. Pleached Lime Trees on Park Street: The early 20th century photograph of the pleached lined Park Street, and the small number of surviving pleached street trees in Taunton, illustrate the loss to Park Street of their removal.32 Cast Iron Railings: Cast iron wall railings to the north side of Park Street and the Church of John the Evangelist.33
11. Review Findings 11.1 Name and Boundary Changes
Conservation Area is extended to include the following areas, and renamed the ‘Park Street and Wellington Road Conservation Area’ to reflect its wider coverage:
32 Chipchase (1989) p. 20. circa 1904 Stengal photograph. 33 See section 9.2
Taunton Deane Borough Council February 2010 Page 16
a) The mid-late Victorian Gothic houses of Nos. 5 & 6 St John’s Road. These
well-mannered Gothic buildings are part of the mid-to-late 19th century development around St John’s Church.
b) The row of late 19th century houses of Nos. 20-28 Wellington Road in
recognition of their latent architectural merit and for the coherence of the area.
d) The 19th century villas and terraces on the north side of Wellington Road as a
good collection of buildings which form an extensive frontage and compliment to the group of 19th century villas and terraces around the Church.
e) The early 20th century house of no. 50 Wellington Road as a compliment to
the 19th villas and terraces either side and as of architectural interest in its own right.
f) The line of mature trees along the car park to the magistrates’ courts.
g) A length of the Gaol Stream to the north of the Park Street bridge which forms
a clear boundary to the 19th century suburb and is an attractive feature including its stone bank walls.
h) The highway and highway island to the fore of the Church of St John the
Evangelist as being important to the setting of this Grade II* church.
11.2 Potential for Enhancement This appraisal area is blessed with a high concentration of stunning buildings and an interesting tale behind its development. It also has a realistic potential for dramatic improvement through the careful reinstatement of many of its eroded townscape features and interpretation to the many who pass through each day. Equally, there is a need for greater restraint on actions that threaten its character and appearance.
These issues will be examined in a management plan that will build on the work of this appraisal. At this stage the appraisal can indicating a potential for the following items in the plan:
Short-to-Mid Term Objectives: a) A programme of building maintenance and repair. b) Repair and/or reinstatement of damaged or lost walls and railings. c) Rationalisation and improvement of highway furniture. d) Extension of Article 4 Directions to preserve important architectural features.
Long Term Objectives: a) Reinstatement of the Park Street pleached trees. b) Reinstatement of front gardens in conjunction with rear parking provision.
