Description

23 Bridge Street is an earlier 19th-century, five-storey, six-bay workshop that is tall and narrow in shape. It has a slightly later two-storey, two-bay block with a piended roof to the northeast. The main southeast elevation features small, regular window openings, along with a high-level hoist door on the northeast gable. The building is constructed with rubble whinstone quoins and fine rubble whinstone walls, while the lintels are roughly hewn sandstone and the cills are made of random rubble.

The windows include a mix of timber 16-pane fixed casements, 4-pane casements, and side-hung bipartite timber windows. Some ground floor openings in the main building have been bricked up, and there are early 20th-century openings with brick margins in the two-storey section. The doors are boarded timber, and the roofs are gabled and covered with slate, as well as piended.

The interior has not been seen due to unknown ownership, but a previous owner described it as having plain boarded floors and steep timber ladder stairs. As of 2006, the building is currently used as a store.
