Overview Northgate and Church Lane Character Area is an inner city suburban area lying northeast of the Roman and Medieval upper city defences, along the summit of the north escarpment. Much of the area remained as open agricultural land until the Early Industrial period, however its proximity to the city centre has strongly influenced its development. The suburban townscape survives as an expression of the individual wealth generated during and subsequent to Lincoln s industrial expansion during the late 19 th and 20 th centuries. The status of the houses is reflected in their large scale, expansive plots and often lavishly decorated form. Many of the extensive garden plots pertaining to the large Late Victorian/Edwardian and earlier residences have been subject to infill during the Inter-war, Post-war and Modern periods. As a result many of the later housing plot boundaries incorporate elements of 19 th century plot boundaries. The majority of urban blocks are composed of large-scale detached houses built within spacious plots, resulting in a low overall building density. However, density increases along Church Lane where a number of semi-detached and terraced properties are built within comparatively smaller plots and positioned closer to the road, illustrating the prominence of Church Lane, and creating a gradual transition to more urban areas. Throughout the remainder of the area buildings are set back from the road towards the front and centre of their plots. The houses have doors and windows overlooking the street creating a sense of activity and security. However, houses along main roads have tall public/private boundaries, which create a feeling of inactivity along streets and a higher sense of enclosure that is further increased by mature trees within plots. Late Victorian/Edwardian houses are almost entirely two storeys in height, are built of brick, have vertical windows, including many surviving wooden sliding sashes, and have complex roofs with one or more gabled features built into the main gabled or hipped roof. The form and decoration of properties is highly individual, ranging from more plainly decorated symmetrical houses, to more structurally complex and highly ornate properties. A large proportion of the decoration is loosely classical in style, although there are some examples of other architectural styles, such as Victorian Gothic and Tudor. Within the Character Area there are a dispersed number of houses dating to and after the Inter-war period. In general properties are plainer, and become increasingly plain towards the end of the Modern period. Houses are built of brick and have few decorative features. Open space in the Character Area is area is mainly private mature gardens within large plots. The abundance of mature vegetation, notably trees, is a key suburban characteristic of the area. Views within the Character Area are limited to those along streets, and are mostly dominated by mature trees, though there are occasional glimpses of the Cathedral towers. Roads in the Character Area carry high volumes of traffic, and converge in the south of the Character Area to form an important transport node immediately north east of the historic core of the city. Historical Development Northgate and Church Lane Character Arealies on top of the limestone ridge immediately northeast of the former Roman and Medieval walled cities. Much of the Character Area remained as open agricultural land up until the Early Industrial period, however its proximity to the city centre has strongly influenced its development since the Roman Military Era [60-90 AD]. The strongly suburban townscape survives as an expression of the individual wealth generated during and subsequent to Lincoln industrial expansion during the late 19 th and 20 th centuries. Upper parts of the northern escarpment have had a defensive role since the founding of Lincoln during the Roman Military Era, when a Roman legionary fortress was constructed. The line of the former north wall of the upper Roman City, which was consolidated in stone during the Roman Colonia Era [90-410 AD], survives in the alignment of the southern boundary of the Character Area to the rear of numbers 21 to 38 Church Lane. Earthworks associated with the former defensive ditch are also a conspicuous feature within the rear gardens of the properties. Nettleham Road, which runs through the centre of the Character Area, follows the line of the Fosse Way, a road dating to the Roman Military Era. Nettleham Road also appears to run parallel with a submerged aqueduct running between the city and Roaring Meg, a spring three miles north of the city. It is likely that parts of the Roman infrastructure continued in use during the Early Medieval Era, when the city experienced a period of decline. Land outside of the city defences, including that within the Character Area, is likely to have been used for agricultural purposes. During the High Medieval Era the city experienced a prosperous period, and it is likely that Church Lane and Northgate were constructed during this period. The roads, which skirt the former extents of the defensive ditch surrounding the north of the city, linked the main routes of Newport and Eastgate which still lead to the north and east gates of the upper city respectively. Much of the land within the Character Area appears to have remained open during the High Medieval and Early Page 4 of 15

Modern Eras, and was probably part of the city s North Field, one of three large fields used in common by the residents of Lincoln. In addition, to being used for farming, land was probably used for the extraction of stone from small-scale small pits during the High Medieval and Early Modern eras. Small undulations in the ground within the Character Area may relate to localised areas of stone extraction. It is possible that some of the earliest houses in the Character Area, such as at 66 Nettleham Road, 6 Northgate, and 48 Lee Road, were constructed from stone quarried from nearby pits. At some point during the Early Modern period, land within the area is likely to have become enclosed, probably through a series of piecemeal agreements and exchanges between residents of Lincoln with common rights to farm the Northfield. Unenclosed parts of North field were later enclosed by an Act of Parliament in 1803, which stipulated the enclosure of many of Lincoln s open fields. The alignment of several field boundaries, possibly associated with either phase of enclosure, survive in the current townscape, such as in the northern plot boundaries of Numbers 7 and 8 The Grove and Number 36 Nettleham Road, and the rear plot boundaries of Numbers 10-25 Church Lane. The parliamentary enclosure of land during the 18 th and 19 th centuries was in part a response to the increased productivity of land due to the Agricultural Revolution. In particular, the introduction of the four-course rotation allowed typically marginal land, such as the thin former heathland soils of the Character Area, to be cultivated more intensely. As an established market centre, Lincoln experienced a period of rapid growth during the Early Industrial period, requiring the construction of labourers houses, such as those surviving at 14-25 Church Lane. However, towards the end of the Early Industrial Era and into the Post-railway Expansion period the area, with its availability of open land adjacent to the city centre, became the preferred location for the construction of large-scale private residences. Initial dwellings included the vicarage to St. Peter at Arches, which is now incorporated within the nursing home at Number 23 Nettleham Road, and the detached house immediately to the south at Number 21 Nettleham Road. As Lincoln expanded and grew increasingly prosperous during the Late Victorian/Edwardian period a growing number of large residences were built by the city s new entrepreneurial elite. The status of the houses is reflected in their large scale, the expansive size of their plots, and their often lavishly decorated form. Many of the extensive garden plots pertaining to the large Late Victorian/Edwardian and earlier residences have been subject to infill during the Inter-war (e.g. numbers 50-58 Nettleham Road), Post-war (numbers 27-19 Church Lane) and Modern periods (numbers 6 and 48a Nettleham Road). As a result many of later housing plot boundaries incorporate elements of 19 th century plot boundaries, which cumulatively preserve many of the original plot boundaries of Late Victorian/Edwardian houses. Mature garden plots, including very large trees, former orchards, and developed hedges, survive as a testament to the development of a high status housing and their associated gardens in the latter part of the 19 th century. Urban form Northgate and Church Lane Character Area is a suburban area lying immediately northeast of the Roman and Medieval upper city defences. The Character Area is located on largely level land along the summit of the north escarpment. The Character Area is located at the intersection of Church Lane, Northgate and Nettleham Road, which converge to form a triangular-shaped urban block in the south of the area. The pattern of roads is strongly influenced by the former medieval pattern of extra-mural roads that linked the northern and eastern gateways to the upper city. The remainder of the Character Area is made up of large irregular urban blocks, all of which extend outside the boundaries of the area. Several short cul-de-sacs including Stonefield Avenue, Barratt's Close and The Grove are located off connecting roads, providing access to properties located towards the centre of urban blocks. Consequently, other than along main roads, there is poor connectivity to surrounding areas. The lack of connectivity is particularly apparent to the south where the former Roman and medieval defences inhibit any vehicular or pedestrian movement. The majority of urban blocks are composed of large-scale detached houses built within spacious plots, resulting in a low overall building density. However, building density increases along Church Lane, notably in the west of the area, where a number of semi-detached and terraced properties are built within comparatively smaller plots. Furthermore, unlike other properties in the area, a number of houses at the west end of Church Lane, such as Numbers 1 and 10-12, are set at the back of the footway. The increase in building density, and the forward position of some buildings on their plots illustrates the prominence of Church Lane, and creates a gradual transition to more urban areas along Burton Road and around the historic northern entrance to the city at Newport Arch. Throughout the remainder of the area buildings are set back from the road mainly towards the front and centre of their plots. Several houses, again in the west of the area as well as within cul-de-sacs, have shallower forecourts and/or gardens defined by low brick walls (e.g. Numbers 14-25 Church Lane and 1-4 Stonefield Avenue). The houses have doors and windows overlooking the street creating a sense of activity and security. However, houses along main roads in the Character Area have tall 1-2m public/private boundaries, which obscure the ground floors of houses and create a feeling of inactivity along streets. Page 5 of 15

Boundary walls, many of which extend for considerable distances, such as those demarking corner plots, are a prominent and distinguishing feature of the Character Area. Boundary walls are constructed of a wide variety of materials, including coarse limestone rubble, brick, steel railings, and various types of wooden fencing. In addition to gates on driveways, the tall boundaries frequently have doors incorporated with them. Figure 1 Tall wooden fencing with gate obscuring the ground floor of a house on Nettleham Road The boundary walls strongly influence the sense of enclosure along streets, which is further increased by a high number of mature trees within housing plots. The overall majority of houses were built during the Post-Railway Expansion and Late Victorian/Edwardian periods, although a small number of properties dating from the Inter-war and Post-war periods are dispersed throughout the Character Area. Later properties are usually the result of the redevelopment or infilling of earlier housing plots. Properties constructed during or prior to the Late Victorian/Edwardian period include a number of detached and semi-detached buildings, as well as two rows of terraced buildings. Properties are built of brick laid in English or Flemish bond. Buildings have vertical windows, including many surviving wooden sliding sash windows, although several have been replaced with Modern wooden or upvc substitutes. Rows of terraced houses along the western half of Church Lane are highly coherent in character, and consist of a short row of three houses and a longer row of twelve houses to the east. The terraced houses are built of a red or buff coloured brick laid in English bond respectively. Houses are highly plain in character with no apparent decoration other than one or two projections on individual houses such as porches and a canted oriel window. Windows and doors are located on the front façade, creating a sense of activity along Church Lane. Windows have cambered brick lintels and thin stone window cills which are frequently painted. The style of entranceway varies, and includes some with cambered or semi-circular arched brick lintels. Doors are of upvc or wood and are generally solid with few if any glazed sections. Gabled roofs are of Welsh Slate and are relatively steep and are with their ridgelines running parallel to the street. Roofs have short brick chimneystacks passing through the ridgeline.

Figure 2 Terraced houses at the western end of Church Lane The character of semi-detached and detached properties dating to the Late Victorian/Edwardian period or earlier is highly varied. Houses are almost entirely two storeys in height, but vary from between two and nine bays in width. The form and decoration of properties is also highly individual, ranging from more plainly decorated symmetrical houses, such as Number 8 The Grove, to more structurally complex and highly ornate properties, such as Number 2 The Grove. Properties usually have one or more projecting wings to the front and/or rear, the majority of which have gabled ends. Gable ends of vary style and are frequently decorated with applied timberwork, Dutch gable design, or have very deep accentuated eaves with bracketing. The gable ends, many of which face the street, are repetitive elements along streets in the Character Area. Other projections include one to three storey bay windows, corner turrets, and oriel windows. The projections are not solely confined to the front façades of houses, and are commonly built facing garden plots to the rear and sides. Decorative features, such as stringcourses, porches, and eaves decoration are accentuated in stone or a buff coloured brick. Bay windows are commonly built of brick or wood and are canted or rectangular in shape. A large proportion of the decoration is loosely classical in style, although there are some examples of other architectural styles, such as of Victorian Gothic and Tudor. Figure 3 Applied timberwork on the second floor of a house along Nettleham Road Page 7 of 15

Windows are mostly vertical in emphasis and are usually single or multiple pane sliding sash windows. On many sash windows only the upper lights have multiple panes, including margin lights. Windowsills, and to a lesser extent lintels, are accentuated in stone, although lintels on several houses consist of cambered or segmental brick arches. Doors are located on the front façades facing the road, or are occasionally found to one side. Doorways are often set beneath porches which vary in style and construction such as the neo-classical stone design at number 7 The Grove, to the wooden gothic porch at Number 2 The Grove. A number of Late Victorian properties have plainer porches set to side of bay windows and beneath projecting wings. Roofs are frequently complex in construction with one or more gabled features (e.g. dormers, gabled ends above projecting wings) built into the main gabled or hipped roof, an example of which is the Lincoln Nuffield Hospital on the corner of Church Lane and Nettleham Road. Hipped roofs tend to be shallower in pitch than gabled roofs. Roofs on all semi-detached and detached properties dating to the Late Victorian/Edwardian period, or earlier, are of common tile or Welsh slate. Figure 4 Tiled gabled roof with several gabled ends facing the corner of Church Lane and Nettleham Road Within the Character Area there are a dispersed number of houses dating to and after the Inter-war period. The houses, which are often a result of the infill or redevelopment of earlier housing plots, are varied in style and form. In general properties are plainer than houses dating to, or prior to, the Late Victorian/Edwardian period, and become increasingly plain towards the end of the Modern period. Houses are built of brick and have few decorative features including harling, upvc cladding, tiled or rendered upper floors, bow windows, and circular feature windows. Windows are mainly horizontal in emphasis, and are set up high beneath the eaves at first floor level. Roofs are mostly hipped and are of clay or concrete tile. Eaves are frequently plain in decoration, but are often deep, especially on earlier properties. A small development at Barratt s Close in the south east of the Character Area consists of semi-detached houses which are highly similar in style to radial road development during the Inter-war period. Houses have two storey bow windows beneath small blind gabled dormers. Entrances are located to the side within recessed semi-circular ached porches. Roof are hipped and are of concrete tile. Nettleham Road is the dominant road in the Character Area, carrying high volumes of traffic in and out of northern parts of the city. Connecting roads are a wide two lanes in width, with the exception of the eastern end of Church Lane which is one way. The width of roads leads to an open sense of enclosure along streets, which heightens where mature trees and tall boundaries border the road. Roads are surfaced with tarmac, and commonly have concrete kerbs and channels, although some small sections of York stone kerbing and channels survive (e.g. Nettleham Road). Several carriageways, especially those closest to the city centre, are intensively used for on-street parking by commuters, leading to a narrowing of some lanes. Pavements are either surfaced with tarmac of concrete paving stones. Stretches of Nettleham Road have grass verges separating footways from the road, decreasing the sense of enclosure and creating open pathways on either side of the road, which serves to emphasise the prominence of the Page 8 of 15

route. A small number of white limestone crossovers survive marking current or former entranceways to Late Victorian/Edwardian or earlier properties. Open space in the Character Area is area is mostly composed of private mature gardens within large plots. The abundance of mature vegetation, notably trees, is a key and unifying characteristic of the area and is a defining element of the area s suburban character. Private open space also includes playing fields, car parking, and grounds associated with the Lincoln Minster School. Public open space within the area is limited, and includes roads and pavements as well as the land locked cemetery to the north of properties along Barratt s Close. Figure 5 Re-used cast-iron sign at the corner of Mainwaring Road Many cast-iron street signs survive in the area, including a re-used sign on the corner of Mainwaring Road. The remainder of signs are modern freestanding steel signs. Many connecting streets have large directional signage typical of main roads. Views Views within the Character Area are limited to those along streets, and are mostly dominated by mature trees, especially during the spring and summer months. There are occasional glimpses of the Cathedral towers, which become more frequent towards the south of the area. Views of the Cathedral reinforce the areas proximity to the historic core of the city. Condition of Buildings and Streetscape Properties and associated infrastructure (e.g. boundary walls) generally appear to be in very good repair. The streetscape is often incoherent in character with various forms of surfacing in varied condition. Many streets are cluttered through the use of largescale road direction signage and cars parked along the street. Use The overall majority of the area is residential in use, although some large properties such as the Nuffield Hospital and the Nursing Page 9 of 15

Home along Nettleham Road, have been converted for commercial use. Although the majority of houses remain occupied as individual residences, a small number have been converted to apartments. Roads in the Character Area carry high volumes of traffic, and converge in the south of the Character Area to form an important transport node immediately north east of the historic core of the city. Relationship to City and Surrounding Areas Properties within the Character Area form part of an inner city suburb lying immediately northeast of the historic core of the city. Properties are mostly residential, although several have commercial uses that benefit form their proximity to the city centre. The convergence of several main and connecting roads in the Character Area identify it as a key transport node. Buildings along roads form part of a gradual transition from the historic core of the city to more suburban development towards the northeast of the city.
