Description

Nos. 1 to 6 Wilshaw Terrace, Rowan Cottage, and The Stores is a terrace of seven houses and a shop built in 1870 by Kirk and Sons. The building features rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. It is two storeys high with seven bays, a corner turret, and a two-bay bow facing Thornton Common Road. There is a flush sill band at the first floor level. The windows have segmental-pointed heads and sashes without glazing bars, with those on the first floor featuring coped gablets.

The round turret has a corbelled sill course at the first floor and a bracketed cornice, topped with a swept conical roof that has a weather vane. The turret displays two roundels inscribed with "JH" and "1870", and the first-floor windows have tympana. The entrances have shouldered segmental heads with pointed hood moulds, and the plank doors are adorned with ornate strap hinges; the door to the turret has a trefoil head and a fanlight.

The end bay is lower and has a stone roof, a canted bay window, and a 20th-century flat-topped dormer. The return features a half-hipped gable with a gablet, and the windows have leaded glazing. The return to Thornton Common Road includes two segmental-pointed shop front openings with hood moulds and 20th-century glazing. The first-floor windows have shouldered lintels, and there is a one-storey round turret to the left with a Lombard frieze, a conical roof, and an entrance with a label mould.
