GRASSINGTON MAIN STREET SE 0064-0164 (west side) 8/22 No. 53 (previously listed as Town Fold, also called 10.9.54 Sunnyside) II House. Early C18, divided into 3 cottages late C18, altered to 2 cottages probably mid C19, restored to a single dwelling mid C20. Coursed grey gritstone, graduated stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 bays. Quoins to right. C20 glazed door between bays 2 and 3 in a finely cut architrave with entablature and cornice. A similar door in a plain surround between bays 1 and 2 with probably blocked door to left, now a window. Ground-floor windows: one to each bay, plain sawn stone surrounds, C20 frames, 3 similar windows to first floor. Slightly bulbous kneelers, gable copings. Fine corniced ridge stack to right, banded plain stacks to ridge between bays 1 and 2, and 2 and 3. Interior: the original entrance is directly into a living room, behind the main central living room fireplace. The central fireplace is very wide and cambered, the lintel in 3 parts with a central keystone, and incised in imitation of voussoirs. A stone newel staircase against the rear wall of this room, the original partitions removed. The building appears to have followed a pattern of changing use typical of Grassington. A C17 farmhouse (Town Fold), divided into 3 small cottages in the later C18, probably to house lead-miners' families; the left 2 bays altered again to one cottage and the building becoming a Post Office and cobbler's shop by the early C20 and returning to one house in the mid C20, known as Sunnyside for a short tine.
