GV II

Foundry workshops, now small industrial and storage premises. 1797 onwards, with extensive rebuilding 1847-77. For Matthew Murray. Brown brick, English garden wall and random bonds, white painted; slate roofs. A row of 3 different builds, opening onto Foundry Street and abutted at the rear by former saw mill and joiners' shop (qv). North range: 6 tall multi-pane windows with cambered brick arches; 2 flat-arched windows to left end; 1 narrow and 1 wide doorway, 2 altered openings to far right. Heavy stone projecting band at raised door sill height and a higher stone window sill band. Gutter brackets. An infill block at the north end abuts No.105 Water Lane and has 2 altered multipane windows with curved brick surrounds and a blocked doorway. Middle range: 5 windows: a pair (one blocked) of domestic type with one surviving 16-pane sash in flush wood frame, wedge lintel; 3 tall multi-pane with cambered and flat brick arches. 2 doorways with raised sills; a short section of stone sill band and a change in the brick coursing to left of the right-hand door. South range: 8 original multi-pane, header brick cambered arched windows, 2 blocked; 3 segmental brick-arched double doorways, the left doorway with plank double doors and pedestrian entrance. 3 windows to left, one altered to doorway; first-floor loading door below double header-brick arch and steps to left. This 3-window range (No.14) extends back approximately 3 bays and is roofed at right angles to the road. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: built from 1797 as part of his engineering complex, Matthew Murray developed the site as a production line for the manufacture of machine tools and steam engines of all types. The north range housed the turning and boring shops which contained cylinder borers of particular accuracy; the steam engine used to power the machines was housed at the south end, this function possibly shown by the 2 straight-headed windows. The central range contained (right to left) the boiler house, an arched entry to the rear joinery yard and a store; the straight join and stop in the stone band suggests the position of the entry, while the sash window indicates the store rooms. The south range was the pattern shop. The brickwork suggests that the range was altered and rebuilt from the mid C19, on the original wall lines. For further historical information: see No.101 Water Lane (qv). (Kilburn Scott, E: Matthew Murray, Pioneer Engineer: Leeds: 1928-: 35, 48).
