Nos 5-13 Old Hall and Forecourt Wall

Old Hall, consisting of houses numbered 5 to 13, is a symmetrical group of buildings located in Cleator Moor. The main structure dates back to the late 17th century and was remodeled, subdivided, and extended in 1845, as indicated by the initials "TA" above the doors of the end blocks. The buildings are constructed from rendered rubble, featuring mostly graduated slate roofs, although some sections have 20th-century concrete tiles. The chimneys are of 19th-century diagonally-set brick.

Houses 5 and 6, as well as 12 and 13, are set forward from the main block. Each of these houses is two stories tall and consists of three bays. They have two doors with false four-centred heads in the center, flanked by sash windows on either side and three sash windows above. The ground floor openings and the central first-floor opening are under hoodmoulds with labels. The main block at the rear has a three-story, three-bay central section, which was formerly the Hall, with a full-height wing at the center rear. The central gabled porch features doors on either side and sash windows.

Each adjoining house at either end is also two stories and three bays wide, with a central door that has a bracketed cornice and two windows on each floor. The house on the left has a 20th-century lean-to porch and casement windows, while all other windows are sashes set in stone surrounds. Inside, No. 9 retains original stop-chamfered beams, which may date back to the 17th century.

The forecourt wall is made of alternating courses of boulders and sandstone blocks, topped with a semicircular coping and standing about three feet high, featuring monolithic gate posts. The group is included for its collective historical value.
