the original house. This has resulted in the loss ofsimple rhythm created by windows and doors andthe buildings are difficult to read as a cohesivecombination. To the south, several buildings havebeen detrimentally altered using inappropriatematerials such as oversized windows with largepanes, uPVC and cement. Not only are cementand uPVC inappropriate materials for aconservation area in terms of aesthetics, they arenot sustainable building materials.The north side of Wrexham Road is predominatelyVictorian in appearance, with a mix of farms anddomestic dwellings. The plan form is fairlyrectangular and regular in size. Features includedecorative terracotta finials, a continuous roofline,sill bands, window architraves, painted to contrastto the main walls, and gabled porches. Windowsizes have been retained and modern replacementsthat have been successfully integrated into thegrain of the building are subdivided by slenderhorizontal glazing bars. Red sandstone boundarywalls with cock and hen coping add to the overallagrarian character. Dormer windows tend to belater and do not relate to the generally original flateaves line. Smaller scale cottages have cruciformhorned sash windows and simple boarded doors,which add to their character. Oversized gabledporches and uPVC replacement windows and doorsupset the simplicity, but it is easily reversible.that building material came from redundant redsandstone quarries within this lane. Limewashedor white rendered detached cottages are typical ofthe older properties, with little detailing afforded tothe main elevation.There are some vernacular Welsh cottages,rendered and painted white, in The Cross andFrancis Lane that may date as far back as 1750.Originally their facades would have been verysimple, with windows and doors being the primaryfeatures, of small scale in relation to the status andincome of the owner, and continuous eaves lines.Unfortunately some windows have been altered byenlargement and staining, particularly in The Cross.substantial mature vegetation and its scale,enhanced by small windows with narrow, blackarchitraves, adds character to this area. Thesefeatures should be considered in new design.C18th Cottage,Francis LaneIn Francis and Dee Lanes, the overall character isagrarian.

The linear pattern of the roads may create a tunneleffect to the user of the street, seen only to get fromand to destinations. However, a number ofbuildings are zigzag street markers, which creates asense of place and individual legibility to thebuildings. T~ Castell on the west side of CastleStreet is a most attractive building of substantialtownscape value. Of L-plan form, the mainrendered Georgian elevation has timber, mullioned,architraved windows, a painted string course and apedimented doorway. The more elaboratelydecorated gable end is Victorian, with decorativebargeboards and finials with a pilastered projectingdoorway. Simple black iron railings, surmounted ona low brick boundary wall retain the street line. It isnot listed so every care should be taken tosafeguard its distinct architectural character.Similar original features are incorporated in theformer Manse to the Presbyterian Church. TheAcademy has similar Victorian features. It is aformer school erected in 1872 and converted intoFairview House, Castle Streetthree houses after the closure of the school in 1902.H. G Wells was reputed to have written "LadyFrankland's Companions" while teaching here.The Presbyterian Church is of Gothic Revivalstyle, and is a landmark building in the street.Pointed architectural features, bar tracery,dominant buttresses and its decorative stonebelfry heightens its dramatic effect. Its dominanceis heightened by its proximity to the road and theuse of ashlared and coursed red sandstone. Theview and legibility of it however is muted bysubstantial highway signage.22T~ Castell, Castle StreetComplementing the simple elegance of T~ Castell isFairview House opposite, a detached brickGeorgian building. The landscaping to the gardenis important, acting as relief to the barren street.The symmetrical vertical windows have invertedstone lintels, and a stone sill band painted white.Unfortunately, uPVC replacements cannot replicatethe depth and appearance of original mullionedsliding sash types.Presbyterian Church

Also on the west side is Smithfield House, a 17thCentury vernacular farmhouse built substantially ofred sandstone and locally made brick. Its threestoreys and stone shaped kneelers and coping tothe gable create its dominance. Attractive is thedoorway, with a stone moulded pediment onconsoles. An interesting row of 18th and 19thCentury cottages are attached, built of render andRuabon red brick. Some dentilled eaves under acontinuous eaves line offset their linear form withtraditional sash windows with slender mullions,stone lintels and open porches important. Tophung windows tend to create irregular subdivisionof the window, which knocks out the alignment tothe façade and neighbouring cottages.Lilacs in Francis Lane is a pretty, Victorian cottage,with keystones and voissoirs atop Edwardianvertical windows, and a low red sandstone wall withcock-and-hen coping. Unfortunately, its characterSmithfieldHouse,Castle Streethas been slightly undermined by the replacement ofslate roofing tiles to concrete. The change fromslate to concrete may add additional weight to theroof rafters if they were not reinforced at the time ofre-roofing.Lilacs, Francis LaneWest End Farm has 18th Century origins. Ofinterest is its size, double plan form and mullioned,architraved windows with large stone lintels and ablack painted string course. It is located insubstantial grounds and enclosed by Ruabon redbrick walls with pillars and terracotta bell coping.West End Farm, Francis Lane23

On Wrexham Road is an interesting and perhapsunique building - The Strawberry PickersBarracks, sheltered behind Wrexham Road Farmto the north. It was originally constructed forseasonal pickers. Single rooms in the barrackscould hold entire families within them during theheight of the strawberry season. The simplicity ofthe structure is offset by a wooden string course,elegant moulded wooden architraves and swanneckedpediments to the doors and windows. Thebarracks are currently used for ancillary storage toBellis' Farm, and unfortunately the loss of somefrontages have occurred as a result. The originalsheet iron roof is now showing much rusting, and ifnot checked, will cause substantial damage to themain fabric of the building.Modern development is generally on infill sitesand some buildings reflect the general architecturalcharacteristics of the area in terms of symmetry,scale, architectural features and window size.Contemporary architecture that has beensuccessfully integrated in to the street sceneincludes the recently constructed modern detachedand terraced properties to the north of Castle Street24Strawberry pickers sitting down for tea outside the Barracks

near to The Cross. An aptness of detail to scale,appropriate massing and architectural characteristicsof windows, doors, chimneys, facades (under eavesand string courses) and porches have achieved this.Buildings of the 1960s and 70's have allowed forsome similarities in terms of boundary detailing, andspatial relationship and massing between eachproperty. However, inappropriate building materials,such as concrete roof tiles and buff coloured bricksand building styles, such as continuous elongatedflat roof dormers which segregate the roof shape,are out of keeping with the original buildings andcompromise the character of the area. However,one street of buildings of 1970's design has aninteresting cohesion. Detached two storey housesin Fairview have simple Dutch architecturalinfluences. The roofs are pitched, although withconcrete roof tiles, with very low eaves, juttingdiagonally towards Castle Street. Horizontalwindows offset the vertical emphasis of the roofs.The buildings overlook the castle site and great careshould be taken in any rear development, in order toprotect the castle's setting.Castle Mews, a modern development at Castle StreetCastle Side, Fairview25

Other buildings of note include The Orchard inSmithfield Road. The gable-end chimney plan formand brick and stone pillars flanking the gatewayenhance the symmetry of the Victorian frontelevation. It has cruciform windows and a timberpanelled door, with fanlight and pedimented porch.Similar detail exists to the former Baptist Chapel inChapel Street. The gateway is pronounced bygatepiers and the door supports a moulded woodenarchitrave with console details. The Chapel isderelict, and will be placed on the Council's pending'Listed Buildings At Risk' Register.Door detailof formerBaptist Chapel,Chapel LaneA terracotta band to the piers links the building toChurch House, adjacent. This decorationcontrasts greatly with the rear of the PresbyterianChurch, with its particularly unsympathetic concreteflat roof extension.Later porches, such as those to Church House andSmithfield Green, are disproportionate to theelevational massing of the house. Some could berectified by unifying building materials to theprincipal walls.The village school is a uniform, flat roofed modernbuilding, of significant massing. However, semimaturelandscaping softens its hard edges.Modern housing within this sub-area is scatteredrandomly within the 18th and 19th century cottages.Despite the slightly bland design the developmentdoes not rudely intrude, as it has acceptable scaleThe OrchardDoor detail of The Orchardand massing.29

from the original, with either staining, brightlypainted finishes, or made of uPVC. Facadesgenerally do not have detail to doors. However,No's 1, 2 and 3 Frog Lane, which are workerscottages previously owned by the Bellis family inthe late 19th Century, have wooden mouldedcanopies with decorative cast iron strap supportsover six panelled doors, which add a touch ofornateness to the rustic street scene. Pear TreeCottage, like No.1 Frog Lane, comprises threestoreys. Its window architraves, string coursesbetween each storey and coloured render lifts thestreet scene. Frog Lane House is largely unseenbut its high, imposing Ruabon red brick wall withSub-Area 4: Bridge Street, Bridgeview,Cross Street, Church Street, Deeside,Frog Lane, Green Street, Quakers WayImportant Features:the distinctive and original grid iron streetpattern;a variety of architectural styles, with goodexamples from the 17th, 18th and 19thCenturies;building materials, rendered and painted orlocally fired brick;orderly rows of terraces;mature vegetation; andred sandstone boundary walls.Frog Lane runs north at right angles to ChapelStreet. 18th or early 19th century cottages arelargely rendered and are set in small curtilages,with low sandstone boundary walls, some withtoothed coping; others with original iron railings,dentilled string courses and low dentilled eaves.Unfortunately, every window type has been altered2 Frog Lane31

panel insets, interspersed with pillars adds solidityto the street line. Cobbydale closes the view fromChapel Street. It is a simple Georgian house ofsymmetrical end-plan form with two gable-endchimney stacks. The original vertical emphasis ofthe house is altered by bow windows to the groundfloor elevation. These windows could easily bereplaced to match the original form.Adjacent to the Gredington Arms is a poorlymaintained vacant plot, which has been given thebenefit of planning permission for residentialdevelopment in the past. Any development hereshould enhance the area's character.At right angles to the Gredington Arms is CrossStreet and Green Street. Cross Street was oncelined with thatched half-timber cottages, all of whichhave long since disappeared, although some later18th and 19th Century outbuildings have remained.Buildings for the main are modern in this street, witha scattered selection of local brick or renderedbuildings from the past - a mix of terraced anddetached properties, typically in small gardens, withsimple façade design. Some vertically alignedmullioned windows, timber tongue and groove orperiod panelled doors and stone lintels and sills addcharacter.The Bowling Green is hidden by extensivevegetation, but the immediate view is of prominentlysited and poorly designed public toilets, built ofconcrete with a corrugated iron roof. The steelslatted doors and dog railings create a threateningatmosphere.Perhaps the most distinguished property on thestreet is Manor Park, a Georgian mansion, formerlythe Vicarage and now a home for the elderly. Itfaces the Church of St Chad, and 20th century townplanning has meant that its importance, created bymassing height, design and spatial curtilage space,has not been ignored in the public realm. It nowprovides a stop view from Bridge Street. Animposing brick and red sandstone boundary wall isoffset by extensive hedge and mature trees.Decorativeironwork atChurch ofSt ChadThe dramatic view of the Church’s decorativewrought iron entrance gates with mature conifersmagnifies the omnipotent tower when seen fromChurch Green. The space and light between theironwork provides relief to the stonework of the32Door of 2 Frog LaneGredington Arms PHChurch.

Joining Green and Bridge Street is Church Green,enhanced for the community in 1895. Modern(1970's) terraces on Quakers Way and TheGardens (1940’s) enclose it. Inappropriatelycoloured materials and siting on Quakers Waycreates some discord, but the terrace's massing,scale and pattern of development compensates forthis. Maple, lime and beech trees reinforce thelegibility of the public space and further define thelinear road pattern.Bridge Street and Bridgeview are distinctlyVictorian in character, with a variety of villas andterraces lining the street in similar sized plots; theroad sloping from its peak at Church Green to thebridge at the north. Typical building features includered sandstone boundary walls, either with toothedcoping or iron railings surmounted, slate roofs, localbrown-red brick, chimneys with terracotta pots,simple facades offset by decorated terracottacornices or dentilled eaves, vertically aligned sashwindows and doors to semi-detached buildings andterraces, stringcourses, quoin detail, decorativebargeboards and architraves to villas. Someeighteenth century cottages with simple facadessimilar to those in Castle Street are randomlyscattered in the street. Mature vegetation in this partof the area is a key component to its character. Inthe general area near to the bridge the exposedbedrock lies in curved sweeping massive beds,which contrasts with the semi-ordered layout of drystone walling. A good treescape forms a greencorridor to it. A number of simple, 18th centurycottages have altered windows and doorways.Oversized closed porches have been added to manyproperties, which jut obtrusively into the streetscene.Victorian properties of note include Rock House, avilla with decorated bargeboards, duplicated to theporch and two raised string courses that provide adivision to the front elevation. Like severalVictorian properties that have been rendered in theConservation Area, false quoins have been addedwhich lift the simple detail of the elevation. RockVillas, a terrace, has been built upon an elevatedsandstone plinth. Unfortunately, the verticalemphasis of the simple facade has beencompromised by the insertion of several horizontalwindows. Most features are reversible and anyupgrade to the basic design of these propertiesBridge Streetshould be considered in context to the overallappearance and original character of the terrace.The regular toothed coping to the red sandstoneboundary wall is well maintained and attractive.Dee Bank is of red Ruabon brick contrasting withyellow sandstone detailing in the form of a stringcourse, lintels and gate pillars. The pavilion typeconservatory is extensive in massing, butcomplements the overall character of the house.Thick iron railings atop the wall gives the boundarytreatment further definition.Dee Villas is a modern housing development that islocated in an elevated position on the western side ofthe road. The street line is lost due to the recessedcommon boundary. Of unimaginative materials,landscaping to the street line could enhance this area.Gate atDee Bank,Bridge Street33

Church Street links The Cross to Bridge Street.attractive colour contrast to adjacent mutedChurch Street's character is derived largely frombrown-red local brick or white render.the rendered terraced cottages of the 18th and19th Centuries, with simple facades and openporches. Low brick or red sandstone boundarywalls follow the grid iron street line, although thecreation of private car space within somecurtilages upset its continuity. Inappropriate andenlarged window alterations and disproportionateporches disrupt many façades. Also of importanceare the medieval burgage plots, which are stillevident to the boundaries of Rose Cottage,Newhaven and Meadowcroft.Newhaven, dated 1700, has whitewashed walls,black painted architraves and sill band. The fronthorizontal elevation has inappropriate uPVCwindow replacements which create a flatappearance to the window design. The timberfive-panelled gate contributes appropriately andsensitively to the boundary treatment.

There are also manybungalows dispersed in plots of land in the area,typically built of orange brick with concrete rooftiles. Some modern terraces in Frog Lane slipeasily into the existing townscape due to theirscale, massing and some simple building featuressuch as open porches and red sandstoneboundary walls, although yet again the buildingmaterials fail to take account of the older,34Rose Cottage, Church Streetestablished buildings in the street.Peal o’ Bells PH, Church St.

RenderingRenders should be lime based rather than cementbased, particularly for older properties as limeallows the building to breathe. Cement is too hardand waterproof for many historic building materialsand can cause lasting damage to historic brick orstone, creating moisture within the original buildingmaterial that may result in damp.If a building appears to be originally rendered, it isunlikely that the brick or stonework behind it wasever meant to be seen.Design and MaterialsDesign and materials are crucial in ConservationAreas, in order to preserve or enhance the area'sspecial character. Siting and massing, roof shape,rainwater goods, windows, doors, porches, shopfront design and advertisement signs must beconsidered both within the context of the building,and within the overall townscape and character ofthe particular area as a whole. Many ConservationAreas have no overriding dominance of a particularpast architectural style, but rather a strong cohesionof well integrated architecture. This is largely thecase in Holt.Windows and DoorsStaining is not usually appropriate in ListedBuildings and in Conservation Areas. uPVC mustalso be avoided. Windows and doors form one ofthe most significant constructional elements of anybuilding, and the style and proportion vitally affectthe character and appearance of elevations. Thethickness and moulding of glazing bars, the sizeand arrangement of panes and other details suchas panelling, fanlights and pediments are vitalelements in determining appropriate replacementwindow and door types that respect the age of abuilding.New design does not mean pastiche of existingstyles, nor a standardised building type, but amodern style that can contribute positively to thecharacter of the Conservation Area for the presentand the future.36Porches should be designed within the overallcontext of the building and in reference to anyappropriate nearby styles. They should not beallowed to dominate the front elevation.Door detail to cottage on Wrexham Road

GENERAL ENHANCEMENTPROPOSALS 8and in the general street scene itself, furtherenhancement work should concentrate on thefollowing:the introduction of new street signage whichwould improve the character of the area andmake it locally distinctive; improving the appearance of parking areas topublicly used buildings in traditional materials; upgrading modern and run-down buildings; and improving boundaries.Aim of Enhancement ProposalsThe Local Planning Authority has a duty toformulate and publish proposals for thepreservation and enhancement of ConservationAreas, and to submit them to public consultation.The proposals outlined in the following sections arebroad enhancement objectives. Public consultationwill be made later on the detailed proposalscontained in a 'Holt Conservation AreaEnhancement Plan'.The aim of the following general proposals is tobuild upon the area's architectural and historiccharacter and create a more distinctiveenvironment. The objectives are outlined in twosections: proposals for the enhancement of thepublic realm and proposals for the enhancement ofthe private realm.Proposals for the Enhancementof the Public Realmrelocating and rationalising inappropriatelylocated highway signage, telegraph poles andother associated street items;introducing well designed and unique streetfurniture to some open areas;resurfacing lanes and footpaths in moretraditional materials, where appropriate;protecting trees and vegetation, and enhancingwhere appropriate; andmaintaining and enhancing views of importanttownscape and key buildings within and from theConservation Area.Proposals for the Enhancement of thePrivate RealmGenerally the condition of most properties withinthe Conservation Area are good, and alterationswhich have taken place in the past can generally bereversed. Enhancement works should concentrateon the following:As a whole, the public realm is well maintained andlandscaping plays a very important role in thecharacter of each public open area. In such areasre-introducing traditional building elements,particularly windows and doors in olderproperties;Lane adjacent to Fairview, off Castle Street37

Sources of FundingFunding for the enhancement of the ConservationArea may be available from CADW (Welsh HistoricMonuments) for enhancement of older buildings -unlisted and listed - within the Conservation Area.This contributes towards the repair and restorationof 'outstanding' buildings and enhancementschemes within Conservation Areas. Other sourcesof funding may become available over time as partof a wider and more comprehensive scheme with avariety of funding partners.38View from Holt Hill looking east along the River DeeDetail to 1-5 Castle Street
