Re North And Co Limited And Attached Railings And Gate Piers

The building is a church Sunday school, dating from 1881, and later used as a factory. It has undergone alterations in the 20th century. The construction is of coursed millstone grit with polychromatic ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof with coped gables and kneelers, topped with crenellated stone stacks.

The architectural style is Venetian Gothic Revival. The building has a layout in an L-shape, featuring a south-west corner tower and porch. The two-storey street front has four windows, arranged 3:1, with a tower on the right. The projecting gabled porch has a pointed polychromatic arch doorway with flanking columns and ornate double doors with a boarded fanlight. The tall square tower has a single two-light pointed arch window and a top stage with double pointed arches, supported by columns, each face having a single window and a small window above each arch. The tower is topped with a square pyramidal hipped roof and a ball finial. To the left of the porch are two pairs of pointed polychromatic arch windows, with single columns between and pointed relieving arches above. Further to the left is a single pointed polychromatic arch window. Above is a flush ashlar band, with a similar window arrangement, but without relieving arches.

The left return has six windows arranged 5:1. To the right is a single window, and a taller gabled wing with paired pointed polychromatic arch windows, a column between, and a single pointed relieving arch. Above are similar paired pointed polychromatic arch windows with a column between. To the left are five pairs of flat-headed windows with plain sashes; the end windows have doorways, and the upper-floor windows echo the ground-floor arrangement with pointed polychromatic arch windows. The right return has windows with flat-headed lintels and a blocked door to the tower. There is a rear lean-to addition.
