Bridge House

Bridge House, also known as Tower House, is a shop and office block built around 1875. It features moulded red brick with ashlar details and is located on a triangular island site at the road junction south of Leeds Bridge. The building stands five storeys tall, with the entrance on the north corner flanked by fluted pilasters topped with Corinthian capitals. Similar entrances are found at the other two corners, and the pilasters also separate the shop windows.

The west and east facades are alike, each showcasing four and six tall first-floor windows with segmental arches. There are bands of elaborate moulded brick at the floor and impost levels. The upper floors are lower, featuring eight and nine windows, a continuous moulding above the window heads, and a deep dentilled cornice at the fourth storey. The top storey is adorned with more elaborate Norman-style arcading and an ornate pierced parapet. At the rear, there is a panelled door in a stone surround located to the right of centre. Decorative bands wrap around the building, interrupted by paired stair windows. The interior has not been inspected, but the ground floor is used as shops, while the rear door leads to a staircase that provides access to office premises above.
