Description

5, 6 and 7 Park Place is a row of three houses, now used as offices, built in 1777 and altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The houses were designed by William Lindley of Doncaster for John Arthington, a banker. They are constructed of red brick with a slate roof and stand three storeys tall, forming a unified composition with No. 6 being the central part that slightly projects and features a pediment. The arrangement of windows is 3:5:3.

On the ground floor, No. 5, which is on the right, has a 20th-century door in the original entrance and two windows to the right, all set within an arcade of three arches that have stone impost bands. The lower wall is rendered, and there is an arched entrance to No. 7 on the left, although the remainder has large 20th-century windows. The first floor features four-pane sash windows and 20th-century casements, with the central window framed by a shouldered architrave and topped with a segmental pediment, along with rubbed brick flat arches.

On the second floor, the central house has a window within an architrave, a moulded eaves cornice, and a small-paned circular window in a corniced pediment; the top storey of Nos. 5 and 7 is an addition. There is a projecting band at the first and second-floor centre levels and a continuous sill band for the first-floor windows. The interior has not been inspected.

These houses are part of the Wilson estate development, completed by 1780 for Mrs. Arthington, who was a widow. By 1831, No. 6 served as the vicarage for St Peter's Church. William Lindley also designed Denison Hall and created a vestibule with curved walls and niches for Mrs. Arthington's Park Place, similar to that at the Hall.
