Jewry Street
East Side to St Peter's Church
The De Lunn buildings of 1890, by architect T Stopher, has the now empty Crown Hotel on the site of the earlier Crown and Cushion. This romantically conceived building exemplifies the confidence of its time and today is a reminder of another era, when at least one shop still had the shop keeper living above his premises.
Beyond this group of shops and dwellings can be seen, at No. 29, the Georgian Restaurant (Grade II* listed building), an early 18th century house once lived in by prominent Winchester citizens.
Note the brick arch windows, the unusually narrow bricks and the wood sashes flush with the outside wall face. The Corinthian type capitals to the door case have unfortunately been "gilded".
The drawing shows a typical 18th century six panel door with Roman Doric order attached and a broken pediment to allow for a round arch and fanlights.
The photograph below shows Canister House (Grade II listed building) and SCATS showroom, both maybe to be replaced with a new office block. It is hoped the old secondary access to North Walls will be re-instated.
