New Longley And Attached Outhouse Range

A row of 16 weavers' cottages with an attached outhouse range, built in the late 18th century and early 19th century, with several phases of construction from west to east. The buildings are dated 1797. The construction is of coursed squared stone with stone slate roofs. The cottage range is in an L-shape; number 1 is in the right gable of the long range, while numbers 15 and 16 form a short wing projecting to the left, with a single-story outhouse range extending further to the left.

The cottages are two or three stories high, with cellars, and each cottage has one bay. Openings have plain stone surrounds, and the windows originally had flat-faced mullions. Numbers 15 and 16, the oldest cottages, are two stories high, with two doorways flanking a three-light window, and an inserted window to the right, and two more three-light windows above. A plaque over the door of number 15 is inscribed "New Longley 1797," and there is a stack at the right end of each cottage. Numbers 13 and 14 also have two stories, with a door to the outside of each of the two-light windows on each floor. Number 13 has a 20th-century wood and glass porch, and number 14 has an inserted window above the door. Shaped gutter brackets are present, and there is a stack at the right end of each cottage.

Numbers 9 to 12 consist of four paired three-story cottages, with paired central doors flanked by three-light windows on each floor. Mullions have been removed from all the windows except one blocked second-floor window in number 10. Numbers 11 and 12 share a blocked taking-in door in the center of the second floor. There are plain gutter brackets, and a ridge stack in the center of each pair. Numbers 7 and 6 are three stories high, with a door to the outside of the three-light window on each floor, and mullions have been removed. End stacks are present.

Numbers 2 to 5 are four paired two-story cottages, each with a door to the outside of a two-light window on each floor. Mullions have been removed from the windows of numbers 2 and 5, and inserted first-floor windows are in numbers 3 and 5. There are circa-1975 porches and 19th-century coal holes in numbers 3 and 4, with stacks in the center of each pair. The rear of the cottages has various single-light openings to the cellars, as well as some two- and three-light windows. On the right return, number 1 has a doorway to the right of an inserted window and a blocked two-light window above. The outhouse range on the left has various door and window openings with plain stone surrounds and a pent roof.
