each house composed of entrance door with overlight and sash
window, some openings blocked; 2 tall windows to first floor,
with 16-pane side-sliding sash and 8 fixed lights; two 12-pane
side-sliding sashes to 2nd floor. All openings have cambered

where the roof and eaves have been replaced and a loading
doorway inserted to far left. A parapet with stone coping
survives to No.3, which is a separate build. Bracket for oil

INTERIOR: No.4: a single ground-floor room with stairs rising
opposite the entrance and an inserted partition. The fireplace
is against the partition wall with No.3, the chimney breast
projecting into the room; the stairs are of 2 steep flights, a
crude ladder type without risers. Upper floors not examined.
An important surviving example of the type of housing built
for textile workers within the historic centre of Leeds in the
late C18/early C19, in the rear yard of an C18 town house.
Tall first-floor windows suggest that those rooms were
workshops; adjoining Nos 1 & 2 Blayd's Yard, Briggate (qv).
