27-29 Friar Gate, Derby
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 20 Jun 2012
Three stately mid-C18th houses. No. 27 is the grandest, of five bays, stone bands, pedimented central window and doorcase with Tuscan columns. Built 1778, its design attributed to Joseph Pickford. Grade II* listed. Nos. 28 and 29 are of three bays each, and lack these flourishes, although each has a doorcase (Image]). By such subtle details are Georgian buildings stratified. Friar Gate has fine sequences of Georgian houses, almost continuous on the north side of the street, bittier on the south side.
