Description
Nos. 134, 136, and 138 on Town Street are a row of cottages with workshops, now serving as a shop and house. They date from the late 18th century and have been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The buildings are constructed of coursed squared gritstone and coursed rubble, topped with a stone slate roof. Each of the three cottages is two storeys high with one bay at the front, while the rear rises to four storeys and an attic.
Nos. 136 and 138, on the left, are made of coursed rubble and form a mirror pair. They feature central panelled doors in a plain stone surround, large square shop windows on either side, two-light mullioned windows on the first floor, paired gutter brackets, gable coping on the left, and ashlar stacks with brick tops on both ends. No. 134, on the right, is built from squared gritstone with quoins on the left gable end. It has an entrance on the right in a plain surround with tie-stone jambs, a basement window on the left, and 20th-century paired windows on both the ground and upper floors. The date '1690' is painted on the eaves boarding.
At the rear, there is a former entrance to No. 130 on the left, while No. 138 on the right has a tier of three taking-in doors that are now windows. Several two-, three-, and four-light mullioned windows remain, with narrow lights and some missing mullions. The right return shows a former entrance to No. 132 and more two- and three-light mullioned windows. No. 134 was previously divided into three properties: Nos. 130, 132, and 134. Recent alterations include rebuilding the front wall, removing a bricked-in shop window, and a 19th-century sash window. The date likely indicates a building on the site prior to the significant development of this area of Rodley, which occurred following the first phase of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal from 1770 to 1777.
