Description
14-18 Kirkgate is a pair of originally 3-bay cottages, with an additional door and a canted bay added in the 18th or early 19th century. The cottages are constructed of brown local brick and feature a pantile roof, which was originally of a much steeper pitch, suggesting they may be of older origin. There are three courses of stone slates at the eaves. The building has two storeys and on the first floor, there are four sash windows with channelled stucco heads and cills, along with one central blind panel and one later glazed window. Number 16 is notable as the birthplace of Thomas Lord, who founded Lord's Cricket Ground in 1755.
