13-19, HILL TOP ROAD

This is a late 18th-century terrace of houses, part of a longer row located on Hill Top Road in Slaithwaite. The houses are constructed from hammer-dressed stone, with quoins visible on numbers 17 and 19. They have pitched stone slate roofs, featuring tabling to the chimney of number 15. The properties are two storeys high. The south elevation of numbers 14 and 15 has, on the ground floor, a doorway with a stone surround and tie-stones, alongside two 3-light stone mullioned windows. The first floor features two 5-light stone mullioned windows, each with a central sash window that projects slightly. Numbers 17 and 19 on the south elevation have two 4-light stone mullioned windows on the ground floor, and two 4-light stone mullioned windows above. An inscription in a blind panel within a stone surround and half-round arch, featuring a keystone, reads “W I H 1763” and may have been reset. The north elevation has four 3-light stone mullioned windows and one 2-light stone mullioned window on the ground floor, and three 3-light stone mullioned windows on the first floor. Numbers 13 and 15 may have originally been barns associated with numbers 17 and 19, prior to conversion into dwellings.
