Description

20 and 22 Princess Street is a late 18th-century pair of two-storey buildings with an attic, constructed from red brick. Number 20 is painted and features a triglyph wood frieze, a moulded eaves cornice, and a gable end roof covered with common pantiles. Originally, the buildings were symmetrical, with paired sash windows on either side of a pair of six-panel doors, which are framed by reeded architrave cases and topped with thin flat cornice hoods. However, Number 20 now has superimposed rectangular bay windows. The sash windows on Number 22 still retain their glazing bars. These buildings, along with the other listed structures on the north side from numbers 2 to 30, form a cohesive and attractive group.

Local climate

20 and 22, Princess Street receives an average of 800 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 56% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 62% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
