Description
Numbers 24-29 and 31-37, including numbers 33A and 33B, form a factory flanked by twelve paired workers' houses, built between 1852 and 1855. The building is constructed of grey brick with yellow stock brick dressings.
The factory element (number 31) is in a Classical style. It is four storeys high with a semi-basement, featuring a three-window central section flanked by two-window wings that are slightly recessed. A brick portico with rusticated pilasters supports an entablature; the doorway has a fanlight and panelled door. There is a dentil band at first-floor level, extending across the flanking bays. Four pilasters flank segmental-arched tripartite windows and rise from the first floor, terminating in dentil cornice capitals above the second-floor windows, continuing to a simplified dentil entablature with a stuccoed central portion of the frieze. The third-floor windows have stucco aprons. A brick dentil pediment sits above, with a small square-headed window in the tympanum and a bracketed stucco feature on the apex. The flanking wings have rusticated quoins to the ground floor, and are slightly wider than the upper floors, connected at the angle with a stucco bracket. The design creates the impression of pilasters with dentil cornice capitals between the arches of the second floor windows. Dentil-enriched parapets feature similar enriched chimney-stacks on the return walls.
The workers' houses (numbers 24-29 and 32-37) are three storeys high with semi-basements and each has one window, with two-storey, one-window entrance bays. They show rusticated brick quoins and vertical recessed strips articulating the party walls. Round-arched doorways feature stucco keystones and impost bands, fanlights, and panelled doors. The first floor has round-arched single-light sashes with stucco keystones and impost bands. The ground floor has three round-arched sashes, each with a stucco impost band, the central light featuring a stucco keystone. Similar two-light sashes are found on the upper floors, with narrower lights breaking through the parapet in a Lombard-type frieze topped with small gables. Cast-iron window guards are present on the ground floor of numbers 28, 29, 33A, 34, 35, and 36. The interiors have not been inspected.
