Description
Numbers 6 to 14, including Stansfeld Chambers, is a house, offices, and carriage manufactory dating to 1848 and designed for JF Clark. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings, with rustication on the ground floor. It features a cobbled courtyard, cast-iron spur blocks, and a roof that is not visible.
The building consists of a three-bay house on the left (number 14), a seven-bay office and showroom range, and a rear courtyard with ranges on all sides. The house has a deeply-recessed entrance with an architrave and cornice on console brackets, and a lower round-arched entrance to the far left. It has glazing-bar sash windows throughout, with those on the ground floor having surrounds resembling the entrance and moulded panels below. The first-floor windows have architraves and sills on small brackets, while the second-floor windows have bracketed sills and segmental brick arches. An ashlar eaves band, cornice, and blocking course run along the top, continuing to the right above the workshop premises. The workshops have segmental-arched openings. The central archway to the courtyard retains original panelled gates and tapered spur blocks on each side, along with large display windows and a deep moulded cornice above. Brick pilasters are located between the upper-floor windows, which have sash windows with margin lights and stone sills, bracketed to the second floor.
A later 19th-century single-storey lean-to reception block on the west side, bays 1-3, has stone surrounds to the central door and paired flanking windows, with moulded brick eaves. Ground-floor archways on the west and east sides have brick repairs to the sides and painted shields with numbers above. There are blocked loading doors to the upper floors in the centre. The north side features a central arched opening flanked by windows, with a cast-iron clock face with gilded numbers between the left and centre windows on the first floor. The rear (north) facade has ten windows on each floor, some of which are blocked, with an inserted central wide entrance.
The interior has not been inspected. In 1853, the premises were occupied by J Clark, coach builder; by 1876, Clark and Sons operated the West Riding Carriage Works. The business continued until at least 1881, and the 1900 directory shows that J Stansfield Ltd, iron and steel merchants, were then using the buildings, likely responsible for the single-storey office/reception, the numbers over the archways, and remnants of painted signwork on the north side of the courtyard. The buildings have stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
