Description
Nos 156, 158, 160, 162, and 164 Stricklandgate is a house and former cotton manufactory. John Wakefield's Bank was established here in 1788. The building was converted into dwellings in the early to mid-19th century and is now subdivided. It features coursed, squared rubble with quoins and moulded cast-iron gutters. The roof is made of concrete tiles, except for the north wing, which has a hipped Welsh slate roof.
No 162 has three storeys and eight bays, arranged as six on the left and two on the right. It has a glazed door with a cornice supported on consoles, and a coat of arms carved on a stone panel above, which is a 20th-century addition. There are four sash windows to the left and three to the right, with eight sash windows on each upper floor, all set in stone surrounds.
No 164 features a recessed bay on the left that is two storeys high, with a tripartite ground floor sash window in a segment-headed surround and a sash window above. There is a single sash window on each floor in the right-hand bay.
