35, Dale Street

No. 35 Dale Street is a cotton manufacturer's warehouse built around 1900, likely for Richard Howarth & Co, cotton spinners and manufacturers. The building features a structure of steel columns and girders, which are encased, and is clad in polished grey granite, red brick, and pink terracotta, with a concealed roof. It has a rectangular plan with chamfered corners at the front and a through loading bay at the rear. The architectural style is a simplified eclectic design with an Elizabethan influence.

The building has a basement and six storeys, with the top three being shallower. It has four bays between the chamfered corners, which are marked by a granite plinth and piers faced with banded terracotta at the ground floor, with brick above. There are string courses between the floors, including a modillioned cornice over the third floor, and a parapet with upstands. The chamfered corners feature banded semi-octagonal shafts that begin at the first floor and rise to domed pinnacles at the parapet, each with a doorway at ground level. The left doorway has a corniced surround of polished granite and a recessed wooden and glazed screen with panelled and glazed double doors, which have decorated brass fittings and bevelled plate glass.

Above, there is a segmental oriel on the second and third floors with a moulded corbel, three-light sashed windows, and a balustraded parapet. The other floors have two-light sashed windows. The building is topped with a shaped and pedimented gablet that features a festooned oculus. The four-bay front has three-light windows on all floors, with the first-floor windows slightly canted and the second-floor windows having bracketed cornices. All windows above the ground floor are framed by thin pilasters that create vertical strips, which continue on the upstands of the parapets. The five-bay sides match the front in style, and the rear has loading entrances with cast-iron surrounds. The rear is clad in white glazed brick and includes a well between short wings. The interior has not been inspected. The building was occupied in 1905 by Richard Howarth & Co.
