59, 61 AND 63, MAIN STREET

This is a row of three early 19th century houses on Main Street, Halton. The houses are built of red brick with a slate roof, and extend over two storeys with an attic. They have seven bays in total. Each house has a Tuscan column doorcase with an elliptical fanlight and a rubbed arch above a four-panel door with raised panels, accessed by three stone steps. A stone plinth runs along the base, with a rectangular apron that sinks below the ground floor windows. The windows are recessed sash windows with stone sills and skewback lintels. Windows are missing from the south end of the southernmost bay, although the first-floor lintel remains. A stone eaves cornice runs along the top of the building, and the roof is covered in small slates. There are party wall stacks at the south end, and a stack at the north end, although this has been removed and the gable has been set back to the inner face.
