Description
These are two early 18th-century buildings on Wilkes Street, refronted in the 19th century. They are constructed of yellow brick and have a slate mansard roof, topped by a parapet. The buildings are three stories high, each with two windows. A doorcase dating to around 1800 is present at number 13, featuring a fanlight and decorated jambs, with some remains of a cornice. The ground floor of number 15 has been altered and now incorporates a round-headed doorway and a small shop front. Numbers 13 and 15, together with numbers 11A to 25 (odd) form a group with number 10 on the street.
