82 And 84, Bridge Street

This property comprises two houses with a shop, dating from the early 18th century and significantly remodelled in the late 19th century, with a further extension to the west. The original block is built of galleted carstone rubble with brick dressings, partly colourwashed, and some carved stone detail. The western extension is in colourwashed brick with stone dressings to the facade and galleted carstone rubble to the gable end. It features slate roofs. The original block has three gabled outshuts at the rear, and the western extension continues to the rear, forming an L-shaped plan.

The building is two storeys with an attic, and has seven bays of 19th-century sash windows with single vertical glazing bars, set beneath segmental heads. The first-floor window heads are corbelled out, while the ground-floor window heads have raised key blocks. The shop front has stone pilasters supporting a straight, moulded hood on carved corbels. A doorway to No. 84 is similarly treated. The arched, two-leaf doorway to No. 82 has the initials W.L. and the date '68 in the spandrels, within a carved stone doorcase in a Gothic Revival style on brick pilasters. A platband runs along the front. There is a corbelled-out, ashlar-dressed corner entrance to the shop with a carved head above. Parapet gables are present, with the two on the original block featuring carved stone pinnacle kneelers and grotesque heads. There are three hipped dormers and decorative ridge tiles. Chimney stacks are visible on each parapet gable and on the eastern outshut.

Inside, the central rear outshut contains an early 18th-century staircase with twisted balusters and panelled newels. The roof structure consists of collar and butt-purlin rafters.
