Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Warwick crossroads. Looking east along Jury Street at the point that used to be the main crossroads at the centre of Warwick. Church Street to the left led to the town's north gate and thence the road towards Birmingham. The 23125 protrudes slightly on the right and marks the corner of 257411 that at one time continued directly in front of Warwick Castle and led to the original medieval bridge 24465, and thence the high road to Banbury. In the distance the tower of 257362 can be seen.
The two three storied buildings on the left flanking the junction with Church Street along with the one on the right just before Castle Street and the Court House are of similar designs with matching cornices and pilasters of Corinthian, Ionic and Doric orders. Their design was ordered by the Fire Commissioners after the original buildings were destroyed in the Great Fire in 1694. Most other replacement buildings were limited to two floors however these were allowed to have three stories due to their prominent position. |
