1-21, Gawthorpe Street

Nos. 1-21 on Gawthorpe Street are houses built in 1842, associated with the Shuttleworth family of Gawthorpe Hall and likely designed by Sir Charles Barry. They are constructed from rendered rubble with ashlar dressings and stand two storeys high, with each house having one bay. Notably, No. 11 features a room on either side of the doorway, while No. 5 has a late 19th-century shopfront. The doorways and windows are framed with surrounds made of stones of varying lengths. Each house has a moulded eaves cornice that supports the gutter, and gable parapets are positioned between the houses, supported by moulded kneelers. Some houses retain original ashlar stacks topped with tall octagonal Jacobethan chimney pots. Only No. 19 maintains its original fenestration and door, featuring ground floor casements with three lights and first floor casements with two lights, both with cavetto mullions and glazing bars arranged to create octagonal panes separated by diamond-shaped panes. The door has six tall octagonal panels and an overlight with octagonal panes, matching the windows. At the time of the survey in summer 1984, Nos. 11 and 13 had modern replacement windows and doors that were reconstructed to resemble those of No. 19.
