Description
30, 30A and 32 Townley Street is a row of three houses, originally built as weavers' garrets over, dating from around 1830. The structure is made of brick and features a Welsh slate roof. It stands three stories high and has a four-window range. There are three doorways located towards the center, with the central doorway providing direct access to a staircase that serves the upper floor only. Each side of the doorways has two-pane sash windows. To the left, there is a blocked doorway with a 16-pane sash window next to it. The upper windows consist of sashes with 2, 12, and 16 panes, all featuring flat-arched brick heads. The undivided garret floor is illuminated by three long, three-light windows, which were originally horizontally sliding sash windows but have now been renewed in their original openings. The building has axial stacks. This property is of special interest as it is a rare example of a weaving workshop and terraced housing where the weaving garret is not accessible through the houses themselves.
