SD4761NE NEW ROAD 1685-1/7/198 (West side) Pye's Building
II
Warehouse and office. c1885. Coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar bands at the level of each floor. Slate roofs. Roughly square double-depth plan with the office entrance on New Road, and a 2-span roof with gables and chimney stacks to New Road. 5 storeys above cellars, with 2 bays on the New Road frontage and 4 bays around the corner on the right facing Damside Street. The New Road facade is articulated by shallow pilaster strips, from which segmental arches with rusticated voussoirs spring just below a line of corbels carrying the gutter across the base of the gables. The entrance doorway is placed within the central pilaster strip under a pediment whose cornice extends as a band across the facade. On either side there are paired windows on the ground floor, with single windows on each of the upper floors. The side facing Damside Street continues the system of articulation on New Road for one bay. Then follow 2 bays, containing a pair of full-height, slightly altered, recessed loading bays with round-headed arches under strongly projecting gables carried on brackets, and a narrow fourth bay with openings similar to those in the first bay. The windows have sliding sashes, with glazing bars in most of the windows to the upper storeys.
