Rectangular plan at right-angles to street. 2-and-a-half storeys over cellars, a gabled 3-window facade, with raised quoining to the corners, a band across the gable, and gable coping (stepped over the band) with kneelers and an apex finial. The ground floor has a tall round-headed doorway in the centre, with a chamfered surround, a stag's head mounted on the keystone, and an elaborate corniced entablature including a horizontal bow-and-arrow flanked by ball-finials; another tall doorway next to the right-hand corner, with a plain stone surround and a rectangular overlight; and 2 large 2-light mullioned windows with chamfered stone surrounds, shouldered lights and altered glazing. The 1st floor has 3 similar windows; the gable has 2 pairs of blind round-headed lights with keystones, flanking a stone shield with lettering which is now illegible except for "est 1876", and a blind keyed oculus above the band. INTERIOR not inspected. HISTORY: the Foresters were the 2nd largest of the numerous friendly societies which flourished in Lancashire during the C19. Included as a good example of the type.
