Number 62 The Cottage Behind Number 62

Number 62, known as The Cottage behind Number 62, is an early 19th-century building located on Main Street. It is a three-storey structure with a unified five-bay design. The central bay projects slightly over an archway and features a blind arch that encloses the windows of both upper storeys. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, smooth only within the blind arch, while the rest is chisel-drafted. It has a slate roof and two chimneys. The windows have plain reveals and are sashed, with the central window on the first floor adorned with a cornice supported by consoles featuring guttae. This window, along with those of Numbers 62 and 64, retains all its glazing bars.

Number 62 has a wooden shopfront with Corinthian pilasters, a modern door, and glazing, as well as a six-panel inner door. Number 64 also features a wooden shopfront with Corinthian pilasters and a four-panel door, with the top two panels being glazed. There is a side door under the archway, which has quoins on the jambs and a round head, leading to a six-panel door with a fanlight that has intersecting tracery. Number 66/68 has a modern bank front on the ground floor, and a doorway in the passage that was once similar to Number 64. This passageway features a two-leaf door with a semicircular head, panelled to waist height, and open with close-set stiles above.

Inside Number 64, there is an oblong staircase with a rounded end, featuring an open string stone stair with a continuous rail. Attached behind Number 62 is a two-storey cottage made of rubble, with a slate roof and two chimneys. The windows are sashed with all glazing bars, and there is a plank door. This building was constructed by Richard Toulmin North, the owner of Thurland Castle in Lancashire, on the site of cottages that were demolished in 1780.
