The Master Hosier'S House And Attached Workshop

The Master Hosier's House and attached workshop is a building dating from around 1840, with an addition made around 1900. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features hipped slate roofs with capped side wall stacks. The structure has three storeys plus basements. Most windows have ogee wedge lintels and were boarded at the time of the survey.

The house exhibits quoins and ashlar eaves brackets on its Albert Street front. It has a central round-arched doorway with a keystone, a six-panel door, and a fanlight, flanked by single windows, one of which is a late 20th-century addition. There are two windows on each floor above the entrance.

To the left, there are set-back workshops with segment-headed windows and chamfered brick eaves detail. The ground floor has a single window, while each upper floor has two windows. The right return features chamfered brick eaves detail, with a central late 20th-century door inserted into a former window opening, flanked by a single window on the right and a small light and a late 20th-century window on the left. Above, there are three windows, one of which has been altered, and above again, two segment-headed windows.

Inside, the ground floor includes a principal room with an original bracketed fireplace, cornice, and ceiling boss, although several walls have been removed.

Attached to the east, facing Connery Street, is a two-storey workshop addition from around 1900. This addition has a reinforced concrete frame with brick cladding and a slate and glass roof. The street front features four windows between single brick piers, a large doorway on the left, and three large boarded windows on the right. Above, there are four windows with glazing bars, all with concrete lintels.
