Doorway, 19 Silverwell Street
The premises have been the home of the architectural firm of Bradshaw and Gass, subsequently Bradshaw Gass and Hope, since 1871. The doorway seems unreasonably large for the original terrace house, and could well have been inserted by the firm at a later date. It is certainly not of recent insertion, and the style is consistent with the date of the buildings. listed Grade II.

Nelson House, Bradshawgate
The former Prudential Assurance building on the corner of Nelson Square. Designed by the eminent Victorian Architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1889 without all the florid gothic features that appear on many of his famous buildings. Nevertheless, the use of red brick and terracotta is typical of his work. Listed Grade II.

The Picture House
Modern apartments on the site of the former Lido cinema. The use of timber cladding as a 'soft' feature doesn't seem to have matched the designers' expectations. The building's style doesn't seem to be the right match for the location.

Former Post Office, Bradshawgate
The name of the bar which now occupies the building is the main clue to its former use, but the large oval postbox, business postbox and telephone kiosk in a group are also good indicators.

Read all about it!
Seen outside a newsagent's shop on Bradshawgate in July 2007. For the benefit of future generations viewing this archive, an ASBO (Anti-social Behaviour Order) was a legal instrument issued by the courts to control people who were annoying their neighbours. At the time 12 years of age was considered to be a young age to receive an ASBO and therefore newsworthy.
