Shipgate House

This townhouse, at 2 Shipgate Street, probably dates from the 17th century, although only the basement and the rear part of the house survive from then, the rest of the property was rebuilt around the middle of the 18th century. Shipgate House and the adjacent cottage were purchased by Cheshire County Council in 1963, with the intention of demolishing them and using the site for County Hall expansion. Fortunately the Civic Trust put up fierce opposition, and Shipgate House was substantially restored 1971-74.
