Offices, formerly a shirt factory. Dated 1916. Rough Ham Hill
stone ashlar; fine ashlar and reconstructed Minster stone
dressings; slate roof. U-shape plan with central courtyard.
3 storeys; 6-window range to 3-bay front. A central segmental
archway with stepped voussoirs, double iron gates and
rusticated jambs, is flanked by full-height pilasters with
balls to the tops and dying into the plinth at the base; 2
similar ones to the outsides cant back to the returns and look
more solid. Each of the 3 bays thus formed have 2 windows to
each floor, except to ground-floor right which has 3 windows.
The ground floor has 2-light fixed windows with top vents and
chamfered jambs; both floors above have 6/6-pane sashes in
moulded architraves. There is a continuous string course above
the ground floor, but one above the first floor is contained
between the pilasters, as is the heavy dentillation to the
cornice above the second floor. The cornice itself is
continuous below the parapet, which is said to be constructed
of local Minster stone. This has 8 circles and a central panel
between each pilaster. The panel above the entrance bears a
datestone 1916. The buildings facing the courtyard are of
brick.
INTERIOR not inspected.
HISTORY: Shirtmaking was one of the principal industries in
the C19. This building is said to be one of the earliest uses
of Minster stone. Included for group value.
