37, Appleton Gate

No. 37 Appleton Gate is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone alterations in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of brick, with the ground floor partly painted, and features a steeply pitched slate roof with two gable stacks. There are decorative first and second floor bands and dentillated eaves. The structure has three storeys and a four-window range of segment-headed plain sash windows. Above these, there are four flat-headed nine-pane sashes, with the first from the left being blank. The early 20th-century shopfront spans the full width of the building and includes brackets supporting the fascia cornice, along with two two-light windows that have toplights. A 20th-century door is located in the left return. Notably, William Jessop, a canal engineer, lived here from 1784 to 1805, as indicated by a Civic Society plaque on the left return.
