Description
Carlton Laundry, originally a laundry and dye works, is now a printing works built in 1899 by Watson Fothergill. The building features red and blue brick with hipped plain tile roofs, a blue brick plinth, and decorative bands at the first and second floors. It has an imitation half-timbering style and is two storeys high with attics, comprising seven bays in a single range.
The windows are primarily casements with round and segmental heads, and there are hipped dormers. The irregular north front includes an off-centre half-round stair turret topped with a conical roof and a wind vane. The ground and first floors each have three stepped casements, with a single casement to the left and two to the right. Above these, there is a casement and a hoist door to the left, and three casements of varying sizes to the right. The upper section features a half-timbered gable with a hoist door, and the turret has five small lights. To the right, there are five louvred openings with segmental heads and three dormers above. There are also remains of a square water tower.
The west gable has a round-headed doorway flanked by lights, topped with a hipped hood, and a casement above. The south side has five casements and a 20th-century glazed door to the left, with the base of a square chimney featuring ashlar coping to the right, followed by a late 20th-century lean-to outbuilding. Above, there are six casements, one of which has been altered to serve as a fire escape, followed by six louvred openings with segmental heads and three dormers. The right side features a half-timbered section with three double casements, and the south end has double hipped roofs with two casements above. This building is one of the few industrial structures designed by Fothergill.
