42, King Street, Thorne up for Georgian Award

A once dilapidated house in Thorne, near Doncaster, has been shortlisted for the Georgian Group Architectural Awards.  The ex-Merchants house is one of four nominated for the 'Restoration of a Georgian Building in an Urban Setting'award which will be announced today by Baroness Andrews.  http://www.georgiangroup.org.uk/docs/awards/index.php


The building was purchased in 2005 by the South Yorkshire Building Preservation Trust (Ltd) and restored from a boarded up wreck to what looks like a very beautiful building.

Hopefully this beautiful building will win the award as very few buildings from the 'north' have been nominated for an ward.
