Watching Brief (26 January 2012 - 15 March 2012)
An historic building survey on the site of the Hope Street Lane Mews building, due to be demolished. This work followed on from an assessment of the building which identified the need for the removal of later modern partitions in two large rooms and the removal of items in one of the second floor rooms. The Hope Street Lane building was constructed at the same time as Nos 26 - 31 Charlotte Square in the early 19th century and presently consist of three distinct units. The exterior elevation and internal divisions identify the many phases of the building's lifespan, the most prominent of which is the rebuilding/raising of the structure by two storeys in brick. A Level 3 survey was undertaken of the building, which included an archive search, photographic, written and drawn record (annotation of architects' drawings and laser scan survey).
