15-21, BOAR LANE

15-21 Boar Lane in Newark on Trent consists of four houses that have been converted into three shops. These buildings date from the early to mid-18th century and have undergone alterations in the early and late 19th century as well as in the mid-20th century. They are constructed from colourwashed brick and feature pantile roofs, with single ridge and gable stacks. The buildings are two storeys tall, with some having attics, and they present a nine-window range.

Number 15, on the left, has a plinth, bands at the first and second floors, and dentillated eaves. It features two segment-headed plain sash windows and a large raking dormer with a 20th-century cross casement above. Below, there is a late 19th-century wooden shopfront with a 20th-century glazed door to the right and a single-pane window to the left, along with another single-pane window adjacent to it.

Numbers 17 and 19 have plain eaves with gutters on brackets. They include one four-light and two three-light Yorkshire sashes, with the central one altered. To the left, there is a 20th-century door flanked by a single-pane window, both segment-headed, and to the right, an altered late 19th-century shop window. Further right, there is a segment-headed recessed glazed door flanked by two 19th-century two-light shop windows with wooden pilasters and cornices.

Number 21 features incomplete rebated and dentillated eaves. To the left, there is a two-light Yorkshire sash window, and to the right, a larger similar sash and a small glazing bar sash. Above, a gabled dormer contains a two-light Yorkshire sash. Below, to the left, there is an early 19th-century pilastered wooden shopfront with a hooded cornice, featuring a glazing bar shop window flanked to the right by a pair of doors—one with fielded panels and the other beaded, along with an inscribed unglazed overlight. To the right again, there is a well-crafted late 19th-century wooden shopfront with plain pilasters and enriched scroll brackets supporting a dentillated cornice. Above this cornice, a large painted name board is displayed. To the right, there is a half-glazed panelled door flanked to the left by a two-light window, both having panelled inscribed toplights. The right gable facing Middlegate has segment-headed openings, including an off-centre close boarded loading door with an overlight above it, a small casement above that, and a large single-pane window to the left with a smaller glazing bar sash to the right.
