Number 183 And Cottage Adjoining South Side

Number 183 and the adjoining cottage on the south side of Westgate is a house and shop dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed from chevron-dressed sandstone and features a clay pantile roof with stone gable copings and a brick stack on the left-hand side. The building has two storeys, with a late 19th-century square bay shop window that includes a stone stall-riser and a narrow timber cornice extending over the adjacent doorway on the right-hand side. On the first floor, there is a tripartite Yorkshire sash window with glazing bars.

The adjoining cottage, located at the rear (south elevation), is part of Number 183 and dates from the mid-17th century. It is also made of chevron-dressed sandstone and has a hipped and gabled clay pantile roof, with stone ridge and gable copings. A tall mid-19th-century brick stack is found on the north side, alongside remnants of earlier brickwork on the gable. This single-storey cottage features two altered Yorkshire sash windows with glazing bars set in chamfered stone surrounds, a vertically boarded door, and one stone mullioned, chamfered window with timber casements on the rear (west) elevation.

Historically, this building served as a Quaker Meeting House, licensed in 1689, until 1768. It is included in the heritage listing partly for its group value with Numbers 181, 185, and 187 Westgate, as well as for its historical significance.
