Description

31 Town Gate is a traditional stone house located in Northowram, dating from the 17th to early 18th century. The building has been much altered and stands two storeys high, featuring eaves beneath a hipped stone roof. There is a shop to the east, and the south side has two long mullioned windows, while the east and north sides have simpler, altered windows. On the west side, there is an irregular wing that incorporates a doorway from a demolished adjoining house, which has a lintel dated 1604 at the rear. This property, along with Nos 15 to 19 (odd), 31, 37, Shoulder of Mutton, and Priestley Hall, as well as Nos 8 and 9 Tetley Lane, forms a cohesive village group.
