Relevant interests of the site (also see assessment form)
92a-c Bath Street are a parade of late 1950s shops, built in the Art Deco style. The shopfronts are carefully modelled - with features such as a fluted parapet detail and a scalloped decorative face to the cement fascia - but it is proposed that they are otherwise unexceptional with limited historic and architectural interest.
Advice received (MRLAG or others)
MRLAG inspected the properties at its meeting on 13 August. Members were unanimous that Nos.92a-c should be removed from the Register.
JHT recommendation
Nos.92a-c Bath Street should be removed from the Register.
Justification relating to criteria
Nos.92a-c Bath Street are of insufficient architectural and historical interest to satisfy the criteria for the registration of post-1920 buildings.
