Description

The building at 8-12 Trinity House Lane is a former Inland Revenue Office dating from 1865, designed by William Foale, and incorporating 20th-century alterations. It is constructed in a Neoclassical style.

The building is constructed of ashlar, brick, and render, with a polygonal plan. The two-storey east elevation faces Trinity House Lane and features a plain plinth, rusticated pilasters, a sill and first-floor band, a moulded and dentillated cornice, and a low coped parapet. The seven bays are symmetrical, with the outer bays defined by rusticated pilasters and the central five bays projecting forwards to a pedimented central bay. Window openings have moulded surrounds with cornices, the ground-floor surrounds being eared and containing predominantly three-over-three sash windows. The central bay features a moulded and dentillated pediment, and a ground-floor open pedimented entrance (infilled in 2022), supported by two pairs of slim pilasters with large scrolled acanthus leaf brackets. Behind the entrance is a blocked keystoned round-arched window with a rusticated surround and decorative square blocks between pilasters. Above is a first-floor tripartite stone mullioned window with a bracketed sill and Greek key decoration across the architrave, supported by two scroll brackets with acanthus leaf drops. To either side of the central bay is a symmetrical arrangement of two bays with windows to each floor; the ground-floor south window has been converted into a tall doorway with a blank overlight. The end bays each have a ground-floor doorway with a moulded and eared surround and an overlight, and a first-floor window. The roof is double-pitched slate with a small central cross gable, a roof lantern, and eight symmetrically arranged and rendered gable and ridge stacks with octagonal double flues.

The rear (west) elevation is largely hidden by a single-storey 20th-century extension that connects with numbers four and five Whitefriargate. The first floor is in red brick, with seven bays of symmetrical fenestration, including a central wide arched window flanked by two sash windows, and a tripartite sash window either side.

This building was formerly addressed as 8 and 10 Trinity House Lane.
