Description

Victoria House is a mid-19th century building, possibly built around the same time as the date plaque on No. 11, which reads "Victoria Buildings June 28th 1838". It is designed in the late Georgian style and features two storeys and a basement with a three-window rubble front. The roof is slate, supported by brick and chimney stacks, and there is a dentilled cornice. The building has brick voussoir lintels above 12-pane sash windows, with a three-light basement window. The entrance includes a recessed four-panel door with a plain fanlight, also featuring a voussoir lintel.

Local climate

Victoria House sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,250 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
