Nos 1 to 23 (odd) and Nos 2 to 28 (even) Victoria Parade

This is a parade of shops with living accommodation above, built in the late 19th century and altered in the 20th century. The building is located in Victoria Parade, Rawtenstall, Waterfoot. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with crested ridges, wide stone stacks with moulded caps, and 20th-century clay pots. The plan is triangular, consisting of two diverging arms joined at the south end and connected by a glazed roof covering an internal courtyard between the arms.

The east elevation has 16 bays, while the south-west elevation has 12 bays and may have been truncated. Each pair of bays corresponds to one shop with a door, and one dwelling door. The east elevation has three storeys, with a continuous glazed canopy supported by tapering cast iron columns featuring decorative lateral brackets. Renewed shop fronts have splayed doorways and half-glazed doors with raised and fielded panels; pilasters define the shop bays. Coupled doorways are located above the shops, leading to the dwellings on the upper floors. The first floor has wide sash windows to each shop bay, and narrow sash windows above each dwelling door, all without glazing bars and set within ashlar surrounds, with flush bands linking the heads and cills. This pattern of openings is repeated on the second floor. A passage with railed double gates is located in the third bay from the north, providing access to the internal courtyard. The south-west elevation follows a similar design, but shop doors are positioned to the right of the shop windows. The end bay where the two ranges converge is faceted, having originally contained two back-to-back shops, which have since been altered. Number 2 retains a sash window and a wide four-panel door with a rectangular overlight. The internal courtyard contains unrestored shop fronts and a round-ended projecting unit with a curved, multi-paned window below a deep cornice. A later ashlar decorative panel at the south end of the complex features a projecting clock with a commemorative metal plaque below.
