Listed Building

Waterloo House, 3 West Fen Road, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural interest: as a relatively high-status, timber-framed block of c1500 with a range of subsequent phases covering over four centuries. Surviving fabric and structural detail from each phase reflects the changing needs of succeeding occupants, thus providing important evidence for historic building traditions; * Historic interest: it lies within the area of settlement described on John Speed’s map of 1610/1611, a street pattern established by the early C15, and makes an important contribution to the historical development of the townscape;
