1-47, Bridge Street

A row of cottages located on Bridge Street, Keighley, was built in the early to mid-19th century, with numbers 39 and 41 specifically dated 1832. The cottages are constructed of coursed stone with stone slate roofs. Some were originally back-to-back, now with through passages. The buildings rise two to three storeys high and step up the hillside, with some having only one or two first-floor windows. Openings have simple stone surrounds, and windows feature flat-faced mullions. End stacks are present.

Number 1 has a board door to the right and a two-light window to the left on the ground floor, with a three-light window above. Numbers 3, 5, 7, and 9 have quoins on the left and plinths on numbers 3 and 5. Each has a 20th-century door to the right, with number 3 also having a 20th-century porch, and a three-light window to the left; a four-light window is above. Numbers 11 and 13 each have a 20th-century door to the right, and a three-light window to the left and above. Number 15 originally contained two back-to-back dwellings, now combined into a single house. A four-light window to the left has a 20th-century door inserted, while a doorway with interrupted jambs on the right now serves as a passage entrance. Above are a three-light and a single-light window. The left-hand stack has been removed. Numbers 21 and 23 originally had four back-to-back dwellings, now arranged as two separate houses. Each has a 20th-century door to the right; number 21 features a recessed lintel, while number 23 has had its ground-floor mullions removed and its lintel replaced, whereas number 21 retains its ground-floor mullions. Number 25 was also originally two back-to-back dwellings, now one. It has a door on the left, a window on the right with removed mullions and a lowered cill, and a three-light window above. Number 27, also originally back-to-back, now functions as a single dwelling, with a door on the left and a window bearing removed mullions and a renewed lintel on the right, along with a three-light window above.

Numbers 39 and 41 once contained five back-to-back dwellings and two cellar dwellings, now arranged as two houses, with a basement on the left end. A segment-headed cart arch with interrupted jambs, voussoirs, and a keystone is present on the right; to its left are two doorways, each with a window on its left displaying removed mullions and renewed lintel. The basement of number 39 includes a passage doorway with interrupted jambs to the left and a two-light cellar window to the right. Number 39 has three-light windows to the first and second floors, while number 41 has two three-light windows to the upper floors, those on the first floor flanking a date plaque. Shaping kneelers and ashlar coping are present to the left. The rear elevation shows three three-storey dwellings, each with a door and a two-light window to the ground floor and a three-light window to the first and second floors, with one cellar dwelling, accessed via a passageway.
