Numbers 10-11 And Attached Walls And Outbuildings

Factory. Built in 1898 for Hollis & Son, furniture polish manufacturers. The building is constructed of stock brick with red brick and engineering brick dressings, stone copings and cills, and a pitched slate roof behind a parapet. It is three stories high and five bays wide, articulated by brick pilaster strips, with the central bay projecting forward beneath a gablet. The central bay has part-glazed loading bay doors to the upper two stories. Above these doors is a sunk timpanum of red brick beneath a banded red and engineering brick semi-circular arch, with a similarly detailed blind oculus above. The ground floor has part-glazed timber doors with a small-paned overlight. To the left and right of the main doors, at ground floor level, are similar small-paned metal windows, with timber small-paned windows below, partially obscured. The upper stories have small-paned metal frame windows with stone cills, those to the uppermost floor beneath iron lintels; ground floor and first floor windows are below banded red and engineering brick arches. Red brick aprons are present, along with sunk red brick panels set within the parapet. Bands of red brick and engineering brick appear, some raised and others continuing to the returns. An upper-storey iron gantry is also present. A left-hand gable stack rises from the building. Restored ventilation cowls are visible on the ridge of the roof. The rear elevation is similar in design. Adjacent to the right-hand side is a former stable, similarly detailed but more simple in its construction. It has a slate roof, a brick coped gable and pediment, a two-story road frontage with a single tripartite ground floor window flanked by small lights, and above, a central loft door flanked by sashes, all beneath banded arches of red and engineering brick. An oculus is located above. Attached to the left is a wall with a gate pier, the pier featuring a recessed brick panel and stone coping. Another screen wall is attached to the front left, similarly detailed with an engineering brick plinth, pierced by a door with an overlight, a four-pane window, and a later inserted door within patched walling. A gate post has a sunk brick panel and stone coping. The wall is linked to the main building by a single-story rear block.
