Full Description
No. 22 Irongate, Derby, a 16th or 17th century timber-framed building.
'22 Irongate. Two storey house of late seventeenth century date with first floor oversailing shop front below. The house and workshop behind were occupied by John Whitehurst II (1761-1834), clockmaker, son of the horologist John Whitehurst (1713-1786). The workshop was subsequently occupied by John Davis, instrument maker (1834-1872), and then by William Haslam and his wrought ironsmith son, Edwin (1874-1916). The panel below the shop window still bears the legend 'William Haslam' in iron letters on a sheet metal background.' (1)
'This three-storey, gabled and jettied timber-framed house faces east onto Irongate, almost opposite the Cathedral, with two shops on the ground floor separated by a central passage, and a Bistro occupying the upper two floors. There is a small modern ground floor extension in the backyard, with a freestanding brick workshop further up the yard. This appears to be a 16th century, timber-framed, L-shaped building whose western arm has been totally rebuilt, or cased, in brick in the mid to late 18th century.' (2)
