Numbers 50-64 Including Railings And Piers To Bingley Road

Almshouses, dated 1868, designed by Lockwood and Mawson for Titus Salt, and forming part of the Saltaire model village. Constructed of pitch-faced stone with a Welsh slate roof. The building comprises 14 houses arranged in an ordered and near-symmetrical Italianate style, with alternating gabled bays and entrance bays. The central three-bay block features gabled left and right bays, each with an enriched tympanum decorated with a roundel bearing the initials ‘T.S.’ and ‘C.S.’ A central square bell-turret topped with an enriched pediment is inscribed with 'OPENED / SEPTEMBER / 1868'. The entrances consist of paired 4-panel doors within open porches supported by central colonnettes. The windows are paired round-arched sash windows with central colonnettes, some incorporating decorative friezes. Bracketed eaves and gables are present, along with tall stacks with cornices. The right return (Nos 50 and 51) is of three bays, with a projecting gabled wing to the right. Attached to the right side is a low wall featuring two square ashlar piers with decorative caps and cast-iron square-section railings.
