window, some openings blocked; 2 tall windows to first floor,
with 16-pane side-sliding sash and 8 fixed lights; two 12-pane

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

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).
