Polychrome brick workshop
Purpose-built c. 1870 for William Cook & Sons, edge toolmakers.
The brick building rises from a rusticated sandstone plinth which provides a flat base for the building as Houldsworth Street falls away in a westerly direction.
Seven bays with a two bay attic gable front onto Elliot Street forming the east elevation. The gable originally had a chimney rising from the top. The corner is turned with a curve rather than angle with the main pedestrian entrance exactly on the corner atop two steps. A first floor window in the curve above the main door faces north-east. The north elevation onto Houldsworth Street is flat with 12 bays marching westwards. The roof above is slated with numerous rooflights on the pitches.
