9 and 11, Lancaster Place

A pair of firemen’s houses built in the 1925-27 period, designed by A.E. and T. Sawday. They were originally part of the accommodation provided for the Leicester Fire Station. The houses are constructed of red brick, with some areas rendered, and have plain tile hipped roofs. There are three ridge stacks. The design incorporates a brick plinth, quoins, and an eaves band with corner brackets. The two-storey building has a six-window front. The recessed central section features two two-light casements with glazing bars on the ground floor, and two smaller, similar casements above. The projecting side wings each have an inner doorway with a brick surround and a part-glazed door, alongside an outer two-light casement with glazing bars. Above the doors is a single fixed light with glazing bars, and beyond, a further single two-light casement with glazing bars.
