Description
14 and 16 Newton Street are late 19th-century manufacturers' warehouses and agents' offices that have been altered and are now used as shops. The buildings are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with some parts painted white, and feature a sandstone ashlar plinth and dressings, along with a slate roof. They have a trapezoidal plan with a rounded corner facing Dale Street.
The structure includes a basement, four storeys, and an attic. No. 14 has a narrow four-window facade designed as one wide bay, while No. 16 to the left has a wider six-window facade divided into three bays. Both buildings have a high plinth, which is interrupted by basement openings, a cornice at the ground floor, and string courses on the upper floors. There is a moulded stone cornice over the top floor supported by thin brick brackets, and a parapet with chimneys above two piers of No. 16.
The doorways are tall and located near the junction, featuring panelled doors, square overlights, and cornices on elongated consoles. No. 14 has three sashed windows at the ground floor and four on each of the next two floors, all with continuous stone lintels. No. 16 has altered windows at the ground floor and sashed windows on the upper two floors, each pair topped with stone lintels. Both buildings have coupled sashed windows on the fourth floor and square dormers in a mansard roof.
The fenestration of No. 16 wraps around the curved corner and continues along the five-bay side facing Dale Street, which includes chimneys over four piers and two dormers. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the buildings were occupied by various manufacturers' agents between approximately 1905 and 1913, with No. 14 being home to Horrocks Crewdson & Co.
