At its zenith the NVR numbered a staggering 542. These individuals offered all they could to the service of the Empire and gave up their livelihoods, careers, health and often their lives. These men should be remembered with the pride that they deserve. The conditions of the Nyasaland campaign were equally as terrible as those on the trenches - if not worse.

However, Scan10009d.jpg which appears to have been taken at the same time and definitely in 1895 is annotated with "Ern" in the pram and Doug standing next to Queenie - possibility is that scan10010c.jg was taken a yer earlier or that Alice lost a baby after Ernest - only three pictures of Alice Quick and she is pregnant in all three...

Bevis Buildings proposed conservation.

Report to: The Executive, 10th October 2006

Report by: Head of Planning Services

Written by: Bob Colley, Senior Planning Officer, Conservation & Design

POSSIBLE BOUNDARY CHANGES TO THE 'OWEN'S SOUTHSEA' CONSERVATION AREA

1. Purpose

1.1 To consider possible changes to the boundary of the Owen’s Southsea Conservation Area.

2. Recommendation

2.1 That the boundaries of the Owen’s Southsea Conservation Area be changed to include South Portsmouth United Reformed Church, together with the adjoining No.6 Victoria Road South within the conservation area and to exclude a small part of the Waitrose car park from the area as shown on the attached drawings.

3. Background

The proposal stems from concerns about the future of South Portsmouth United Reformed Church. It is considered appropriate to also include the adjoining No.6 Victoria Road South. The proposal to remove a small part of the Waitrose car park from the area resolves a long standing anomaly.

Section 60(2) of the Planning(Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 requires local authorities to periodically review the boundaries of their conservation areas.

South Portsmouth United Reformed Church

3.1 This church was built in 1911 to the designs of C. W. Bevis. It is a red brick building with stone window surrounds and other details. The church is in a neo-perpendicular style and has a prominent tower. A spire was removed some years ago.

3.2 The church is a prominent local landmark that features in views along both Victoria Road South and Victoria Road North. It closes views westwards down Victoria Grove and features in views along Albert Road

3.3 Whilst the church remains in ecclesiastical use it is exempt from listed building and conservation area controls. These controls would apply once ecclesiastical use ceased. However as the church is not a listed building nor in a conservation area there is currently no planning control over demolition.

3.4 The Church is included in the non statutory Local List of Buildings of Architectural or Historic Interest. This is a material consideration in any planning application but does not afford demolition control.

3.5 I consider that the most expedient way to extend planning control to this building would be to include it within a conservation area. The church adjoins two conservation areas. It immediately adjoins the Owen’s Southsea Conservation Area that was designated in 1977. It was formed from a number of existing conservation areas with some additional areas including Cavendish, Hereford and Stafford Road, together with the west side of Victoria Road South. The church was not included at that time, but it immediately adjoins this conservation area.

3.6 The church is also close to the Campbell Road Conservation Area which was designated on 2 March 1972 and extended to include Victoria Grove on 14 February 1989. The East Southsea Conservation Area includes the eastern side of Victoria Road South up to No.15.

3.7 Consideration was given to inclusion of the church in the conservation area some years ago. The church were not in favour at that time and no further action was taken.

3.8 The Church have been consulted and object to the inclusion of the building in a conservation area.

6 Victoria Road South

No.6 is a two storey late victorian detached house. It has a yellow brick frontage and is red brick on the side elevation. Features include a two storey bay, sash windows and ornamental barge boards.

3.9 The owner of No.6 objects to the inclusion of his property and questions if a conservation area is the best way to protect the church. His objections and my comments on his objection are summarised in Appendix 1.

3.10 It would certainly be possible to include the church within a conservation area but to exclude No. 6. However it is considered a to be a building of architectural and historic interest and it seems appropriate to include it.

Waitrose car park

3.11 The boundaries of this conservation area in the Marmion Road area were drawn before the Waitrose Car Park was constructed and reflect the earlier road layout, so that a small area of the south-east corner of the car park is within the conservation area.

3.12 This serves no useful conservation purpose and it is proposed to modify the boundary to exclude this area as shown on the attached plan. Waitose raise no objection to the proposal.

4. Consultation Undertaken

4.1 Consultations have taken place as follows: -

1. The United Reformed Church was consulted and object to the proposal. No reasons were given for their objection.

2. The owner of No. 6 Victoria Road South was consulted and objects to the proposal. A summary of his objections is noted in Appendix 1.

3. Waitrose were consulted and support the proposal to remove the section of car park from the conservation area.

5. Sustainabilty issues

The proposed inclusion of two buildings in the conservation area should help retain these existing buildings and is therefore sustainable..

6. Conclusions

5.1 That the boundaries of the Owen’s Southsea Conservation Area be changed as detailed above.

5.2 Other options considered and rejected

1. Consideration was given to seeking statutory listing for the church. I consider that given the age of the church it is perhaps questionable whether it would meet the strict criteria for listing early c20 buildings. However Charter House by the same architect C W Bevis is a listed building. Listing remains an option for future consideration.

As the main objective is to retain an important feature in the townscape of Southsea conservation area designation seems appropriate in the immediate term.

Note on Husband: Charles William BEVIS (7)

According to the Portrait of CWB dated 1887, he was worshipful master of the Duke of Connaught Lodge at that time and had also been initiated into the lodge. The date of warrant for the lodge was 1879 and he must have therefore been one of the first initialtes and achieved rapid promotion as he had apparently fulfilled all the offices. IG, JD, SD, JW, SW, and finally WM - of course journalists have been known to get it wrong. (there is a fold in the paper and critically it appears that what I have taken for seven years in practice on his own account is actually eleven....

Confirmed by W.Bro Dave Weekes (Secretary of the Duke Of Connaught Lodge in 2009)

W.Bro. Charles William Bevis was balloted for and initiated into the Duke of Connaught Lodge on Jan 25 1880 his Proposer was John Wesley Gardener and his Seconder was J W Willmott. He was passed on Feb 22 1881 His date of raising is not clear but it was in 1881.He resigned on 25 4 1907

He was Master of the Lodge in 1887 and I can confirm that he was Treasurer in 1894.

PORTSMOUTH GUILDHALL

The first town hall built on the present site was opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales (later Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) on August 9th 1890.

 

The previous buildings had all been situated in what is now known as Old Portsmouth. The first stood opposite St Thomas's church (now Cathedral) in the middle of the High Street, but it was an obstruction to the increasing traffic in the street and so was moved in 1838. It was demolished and a new building was situated on the east side of the High Street.

 

With the rapid expansion of Portsmouth the decision was made by the City Corporation to build a larger more central building.

 

The land that the current Guildhall is built on was purchased from the War Department, but was previously the site of a brewery and the residence of Sir Thomas Ridge. The site was specifically chosen due to its proximity to the railway system, which was gaining in importance at that time.

 

Initially there was an idea to have a competion for the design of the building, but eventually it was decided to use the same design as that used for Bolton Town Hall, by Leeds architect William Hill. The Guildhall was constructed at a cost of £140,000, under the supervision of the architect and Charles Bevis of a local company.

 

On January 10th 1941, the Guildhall was hit by incendiary bombs, during one of the biggest bombing raids on Portsmouth during the blitz of the 2nd world war the building was very badly damaged by fire, only three external walls were still standing.

 

After the war the Corporation intended to demolish the remains of the building and rebuild a new one. However popular opinion wanted to retain the outside structure, partly for nostalgic reasons and partly as an act of defiance.

 

The interior of the building was redesigned by Berry Webber, with as much of the outer shell retained as possible. The Guildhall was reopened reopened by Her Majesty the Queen on 8 June 1959.
