Description
No. 14 Union Passage is a shop with accommodation above, dating from around 1810, with a 20th-century addition. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof, which is mostly hidden from view. It has a single depth plan and is back-to-back with No. 13 Union Street, which has been redeveloped.
The exterior consists of three storeys and an attic, with a cornice cove and parapet. It has coupled windows and a small shopfront from around 1900. Above the shopfront are paired windows with six-over-six sash designs in plain reveals. The building also features a cornice cove, a parapet, a mansard roof, and an ashlar stack without pots on the left side.
The interior has not been inspected. Historically, Union Passage is a street that has existed since the Saxon period; it was previously known as Cox Lane and is shown on Smith's Map of 1588. This property has undergone alterations and is noted for its group value. It appears to be built to an earlier building line compared to the properties to the south on the west side. The steps leading up to Upper Borough Walls outside indicate the accumulation of refuse against the City wall, suggesting that this property may align with the medieval street line rather than the widened street established after the Bath Improvement Act of 1789.
