Refurbishment, Northgate Street houses, Warwick
This much-admired street was an element of the 18th-century rebuilding after the Great Fire of Warwick, 1694. The houses on the north side were home to the County Council's Education Department. They seem to have moved out and the builders have moved in.

Warwick houses [77]
All the even-numbered houses in Northgate Street were, until 2014, used as offices by the district council. The houses had all been inter-connected and there was a 1930s office block at the rear. Now they have all been converted back to family homes in what has been described by Alec Clifton-Taylor as “the finest eighteenth century street in the Midlands”.
Numbers 8 and 10 were built circa 1699 in red brick with some alterations to the main facade in the late 18th century. The two houses were combined into one in the 1920s and there was only one door to the street. Now restored into two separate houses. The combined house had been joined to number 6 and to number 12 by doorways inserted in the 20th century. The interior has been modernised although some original features remain. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035396
A market town and county town of Warwickshire, Warwick lies on the River Avon, 11 miles (18 kilometres) south of Coventry. There is evidence of unbroken habitation from the 6th century AD with signs of Neolithic and Roman activity before that date. It was a Saxon burh in the 9th century and Warwick Castle was built during the Norman Conquest. Much of the town was destroyed in The Great Fire of Warwick in 1694. Warwick Racecourse is located just west of the town centre. The Grand Union Canal passes through the town and the restored Saltisford Canal Arm is close to the town centre.

Now they have all been converted back to family homes in what has been described by Alec Clifton-Taylor as “the finest eighteenth century street in the Midlands”.
Numbers 12 and 14 were built circa 1699 in red brick with some alterations to the main facade in the late 18th century. Very recently number 14 was renumbered having previously been number 16. Number 12 was greatly altered to become the entrance to a Militia store and later the entrance to the 1930s office block at the rear. Now restored into two separate houses. The combined house had been joined to number 10 and to number 16 by doorways inserted in the 20th century. The interior has been modernised although some original features remain.

Northgate Street, Warwick, in Lockdown 3 of the pandemic
Photographed on a Thursday around 10am. In earlier times the street would be all cars, parked on both sides and hazardous with cars crawling, manoeuvring or speeding. I was on my way home after a very Covid-safe dental appointment. I'm not sure why the flag was flying: Shire Hall is still empty after the courts moved to Leamington.
