Number 31 and Attached Railings

Number 31 is a house, now used as offices, with area railings, dating from around 1800 and possibly designed by John Cordingley. The building is constructed of red brick and topped with a slate roof, featuring wrought-iron railings. It stands three storeys high and has three first-floor windows. The entrance is located on the right and includes a fielded-panel door with a fanlight, surrounded by fluted pilasters and a pediment. The sash windows have plate glass and 20th-century frames, with stone sills and flat brick arches that have been painted. There are end stacks on the building. The interior has not been inspected. The railings are adorned with moulded bud finials. This property is part of the development of the Wilson estate, which was created for merchants' houses along with warehouses and workshops, as the medieval centre of Leeds became increasingly crowded.
