2, 4 And 6, Bridge Street

Nos. 2, 4, and 6 Bridge Street are early 18th-century cottages that were originally a galleried chapel. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and features a graduated stone slate roof. It has three bays and two storeys. The façade includes quoins and three windows on each floor, which have between three to six lights with flat-faced stone mullions; some of the mullions have been removed and other lights have been blocked.

There is a door with a moulded segmental-headed surround topped by a pediment supported by Ionic columns. A second door has a square-cut surround. The entire front appears to have been rebuilt, and the original doorcase was located at first floor level, accessed by a flight of steps. The left side of the building retains some original three-light chamfered mullion windows, two of which have arched lights with recessed spandrels. The rear features two-light mullion windows and has been partly rebuilt and rendered. Unfortunately, none of the interior features survived the conversion to cottages. An illustration of the building prior to its conversion can be found in H. Fishwick's "History of Rochdale," published in 1889.
