Gamul Place
Built 1872 for Mr T Fluitt. These buildings represent a rare survival in any city in Britain which relates to earlier building traditions. The site is marked as "Boarding-school Yard" on earlier maps: Gamul House having once been a boarding school. Fluitt also built the row of five cottages above shops on lower Bridge Street with access via a walkway from Gamul House.
Flemish bond brown brick with grey slate roofa and of 2 storeys, each cottage is of one bay. Doorways and windows have segmental brick arches with framed and boarded doors, that to No.9 being altered. The houses have 12-pane horizontally-sliding sashes, which are quite rare, flush eaves and brick ridge chimneys. There is a restored "outshut" behind each cottage which now houses the bathrooms.
Gamul Place was refurbished late C20 by Chester City Council, and is probably the only surviving example of true court housing, as opposed to alley housing and larger courtyard houses, in Chester.
