3/24 Nos . 22-26 ( even ) 15.1.1980 GV II

Houses. 1842 for the Shuttleworths of Gawthorpe Hall, supposedly to the designs of Sir Charles Barry. Rendered rubble with ashlar dressings and slate roofs. Nos. 24 and 26, which stand on either side of Gawthorpe Street (q.v.), have almost symmetrical gable elevations with rusticated quoins, copings on moulded kneelers, 2 plain windows on each storey, a door with a moulded cornice on carved consoles and a pair of round-arched lights in attic (that in No.24 is dated 1842). On its return elevation to Gawthorpe Street, no.26 has a new (1984) panelled door and windows with glazing bars to the original pattern of the houses in Gawthorpe Street (q.v.), i.e. so disposed as to produce octagonal panes separated by diamond-shaped panes. No.22 is a single bay cottage with quoins and copings as on no.24.
