Includes: Nos.7 AND 9 Victoria Buildings THORNILEY BROW.
Warehouses and workshops, probably for boot and shoe
manufacturers; undergoing renovation at time of survey.
Probably c.1860; altered. Red brick with sandstone dressings,
slate roof. Large triangular plan with narrow chamfered
corners, on triangular island site, probably with internal
courtyard or light-well. Italianate style. Five storeys over
basement, 22 windows; with stone plinth, 1st-floor sill-band,
bracketed eaves and hipped roof. The ground floor has windows
(a), doorways (b) and waggon archway (c) arranged
a-a-a-b-b-a-a-b-c-a-a-b-a-a-b-b-a-a-a: the windows and
doorways in arcades of round-headed arches with stone imposts
and moulded stone heads with keystones, the doorways also with
cornices, and the waggon archway is segmental-headed, with a
keyed stone head and cornice. The upper floors have very
regular closely-spaced fenestration, the windows of the 1st
and 2nd floors segmental-headed and arcaded, those at 1st
floor with linked stilted stone heads and those at 2nd floor
with hoodmoulds. The 3rd and 4th floors (partly concealed by
scaffolding at time of survey) appear to be square-headed,
with flat-arched heads and keystones. Some windows unglazed at
time of survey, but most 4-pane sashed. Various chimneys. Rear
similar but simpler, but with paired full-height loading
slots. Interior not inspected.
