Woodliffe Villa - looking better than it has done in many a long year |
No 41, Alexandra Road, also known as Woodliffe Villa, Cleethorpes is the latest building to receive a facelift as a result of Townscape Heritage funding.
Work started in March this year to conserve and restore the front facade of this Grade II listed building.
The property is split into two – a shop on the ground floor and a residential property above.
Built from red brick with a Welsh slate roof, the building also has a single cast iron balcony dating from around 1900 which has been stripped, restored, and returned.
Based on the research by The Scottish Ironwork Foundation, this balcony is by George Wright & Co & Lion Foundry of Kirkintilloch and it is believed to be the only example of its kind to have survived.
Some sprucing up still required but the front door looks great |
