The site to the rear of the old Town Hall J2458 : Hillsborough Council Offices in Park Lane J2458 : Park Lane, Hillsborough presents an interesting brief for any architect. The street is narrow with difficult access and has a certain architectural harmony. Further, the adjacent Main Street J2458 : The Main Street, Hillsborough and J2458 : The Main Street, Hillsborough (2) has a mix of brick, stone and painted houses – many from the late 18th century. The town is regarded as an architectural and historical gem.

This development (known as “Park Lane Gate”) deals admirably with the problem by having a mixed terrace along the eastern side accompanied by a courtyard at the northern end. This view (towards Park Street J2458 : Park Street, Hillsborough (1)) shows most of the houses - now nearing completion. Continue to J2458 : New houses, Hillsborough (2of3).
