No.11, left: steps up to panelled door with overlight in stone architrave with deep scrolled brackets, entablature and cornice. Sashes with glazing bars, 9-pane to top floor, stone sills, segmental brick arches; 1st-floor sill band.

Right return: central doorway as Nos 11 & 12, restored sash windows; 4-pane window to 1st floor left of each bay, hipped roof with rebuilt stack. Plain railings with pointed finials. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: map evidence suggests that Nos 11 & 12 are probably part of the row built c1831-34, with No.13/No.8 Britannia Street added when Britannia Street was built, by 1850. The 1870 Directory indicates that these houses were then occupied by a woad grower, a gentleman and an oyster merchant; by 1886 they were all woollen warehouses. (Maps of Leeds, 1831, 1834, 1850, 1886; Directory of Leeds 1870).
