9, 11, 15 and 17, Manchester Road

Nos. 9, 11, 15, and 17 on Manchester Road is a terrace of four houses built in 1792 for Lord Stamford, with some early to mid-19th century alterations. The houses are stuccoed and feature a Welsh slate roof with seven brick chimneys. The long rectangular terrace steps downhill and has a three-storey, 13-bay front, with the houses divided by plain pilasters. The windows on the lower two storeys consist of either 12, 16, or 20 pane sashes with stone sills, while the top storey has 8-pane windows also with stone sills.

No. 9 features two doorcases with plain pilasters and heavy lintels, including a four-panelled half-glazed door and a six-panelled door, as well as a semi-circular headed entrance to a passage at the rear. No. 11 has a similar doorcase, with a now-glazed elliptical headed coach entrance to the right. No. 15 has a symmetrical front with a glazed fanlight above an eight-panelled door. The interior includes some original and Victorian plasterwork, good cast iron gates, and four and six-panelled doors. No. 17 has a reeded doorcase with rosettes in the corners beneath a projecting flat hood, containing a six-panelled door, and a simpler doorcase leading to an office in the basement. All doorways are approached by flights of stone steps, which are included in the listing.

This complex of buildings is associated with fustian cutting, founded by Lord Stamford and developed by the Deardens from the mid-19th century. No. 15 served as the manager's house.
