Mordis House And Attached Railings

Mordis House, originally a meeting house and warehouse, is now used as offices. It dates from the early 19th century and was altered around 1900. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, has a slate roof, and features stone details along with wrought-iron railings. It stands three storeys high with a basement and has two bays. There are steps leading up to the entrance door, which has a fanlight set in a round arch on the left, while a boarded bow window is located on the right. The first floor has sash windows with glazing bars and a continuous stone sill, topped with flat brick arches. The second floor features 9-pane sash windows. A multi-flue chimney is positioned on the ridge to the right. The railings consist of plain bars with bulbous finials, although some are missing. The interior has not been inspected. Historical maps indicate that the row was built between 1834 and 1850. By 1870, No. 26 was known as the York Place Room of the Plymouth Brethren, and by 1886, it had become a woollen warehouse.
