Buildings in Ladybellegate Street. On the left are nos 13 - 17, an early 19th Century terrace developed out of the west range of the Dominican (Blackfriars) friary, consecrated in 1284. The three buildings in the terrace, nos 13, 15 and 17 are grade II* listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1245752, www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1245753 and www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1245754 respectively. On the right is the west front of the south range of the friary, remodelled in the 1540s by the post-dissolution owner Sir Thomas Bell for cloth manufacture, and later further rebuilt for a combination of domestic, commercial and manufacturing usage. It now forms 19 Ladybellegate Street. Part of a lancet window of the original friary can be seen on the right, surrounded by 19th Century brickwork. Grade I listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1245992. The writing on the foreground wall, although now incomplete, would appear to have read "Talbots Bottlers (Gloucester) Ltd, Ladybellegate Street, wholesale beer bottlers". According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Talbot_(bottler), the firm were an occupant of the building for many years.
