Nos 13, 15, 17, 17a and 19

Nos 13, 15, 17, 17A, and 19 are houses that have been subdivided into shops, originally built in 1688, with the initials G. & M.W. (George & Mary Wilson) found on a spice cupboard in no 13, which has since been removed but recorded by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England. Nos 15-19 were constructed in the late 18th century for Thomas Miller, who served as Mayor of Kendal in 1776-1777 and 1780-1781. The buildings were refronted around 1822, likely by Francis Webster, and nos 15-19 had new windows and shop fronts added in the mid-19th century. The structures are partly timber-framed and feature incised stucco applied to lath and plaster on the front. Notable architectural elements include a moulded bressummer to the jettied second floor, a dentilled eaves cornice, and a graduated slate roof with wings projecting to the rear. There is a diagonally-set corniced stone chimney located between nos 13 and 15, with additional chimneys at the rear.

The buildings are three storeys high with cellars and consist of seven bays in total. No 13 has a symmetrical design with a single wide bay, featuring an early 19th-century corniced wooden shop front that includes reeded pilasters, a central part-glazed door, and a semicircular fanlight between bow windows above ornamental iron cellar grilles. Each upper floor has a tripartite sash window with wide glazing bars. Nos 15-19 comprise six bays in total, featuring two mid-19th-century corniced wooden shop fronts (the right-hand one is subdivided) with recessed part-glazed doors and arcaded plate-glass windows. The central entrance to no 17A includes a recessed panelled door flanked by cast-iron barley-sugar-twist columns supporting a pediment. Each upper floor has six margined sashes set in architraves.

The interior of no 13 is exceptionally well-preserved, retaining early 19th-century tea and coffee shop fittings, including a panelled counter, arcaded shelving, and bins. Late 17th-century features include closed-string stairs with turned balusters, square newels, moulded handrails, split-level floors, fireplaces, doors, and some panelling. The building is graded mainly for its interior.
