18 And 20, Bridge Street

Nos. 18 and 20 Bridge Street are a pair of almshouses built in 1754 by William Law, with alterations made in the 20th century. The buildings are constructed of squared coursed limestone and brick, topped with a Collyweston slate roof. Originally, each almshouse had a two-unit plan, forming a rectangular range. The front elevation facing Bridge Street features four windows, including two blind windows in the center and two 20th-century casements on either side, all under wooden lintels. The gable parapets and end stacks are made of ashlar stone.

There are mid-20th-century single-storey, flat-roof brick extensions on both the left and right sides. A central plaque displays the date 1754 in an oval panel with a cornice above it. The rear elevation has six windows, all of which are 20th-century casements. Another central plaque with a cornice above it bears the inscription "1754 Usum innuptanum vel viduanun." The original central entrances on this elevation have been converted into windows, while new entrances have been added in the 20th-century brick extensions. Although the interiors were not inspected, they are noted to have fielded panelled partitions. The buildings are included for their group value.
