Foxlowe

This is a late 18th-century house, later adapted for use as a trade union and labour club since 1919. The interior was significantly remodelled around 1900, likely by William Larner Sugden. The house is constructed of brick with a slate roof.

The exterior presents a three-storey, five-window facade, composed of two parallel ranges. A Corinthian architrave features paterae and triglyphs to the cornice, above a six-panelled front door with a traceried fanlight adorned with swags in the spandrels. There are twelve-pane sash windows on each floor, with six-pane sashes in the attic storey. A continuous cill band runs along the ground and first floors. A string course runs above the ground floor. The central first-floor window is emphasised by a small entablature. All windows have painted stone cills and flat-arched brick heads. The rear elevation has a full-height bow window to the principal rooms (formerly the drawing room and morning room) on the right side, and a long service wing to the left. This service wing was extended against the inner face with the addition of a billiard room around 1902, and further extended in the 20th century to accommodate the club's usage.

The interior was substantially remodelled around 1900. However, the central entrance, stair hall, and conservatory (accessible from a mezzanine) possibly retain earlier alterations. The hall, staircase, and landings feature plaster frieze paper cornices depicting pomegranates and leaves, and there is fine brass door furniture. Several rooms contain fireplaces and overmantels from the 1900 remodelling. The former drawing room on the rear ground floor retains a plaster cornice and gilded cornice to the bow window, dating back to an earlier 19th-century decorative scheme.

The house was likely built around the end of the 18th century for Thomas Mills, an attorney from Leek and Barlaston Hall. The locally prominent Cruso family resided there for much of the 19th century. In 1918, the house was acquired by the Federation of Textile Unions as their headquarters and working men's club. It also served as the office of William Bromfield, who was General Secretary of the Union and was elected as Leek's first Labour MP in 1918.
