SE23NE OTLEY ROAD, Far Headingley
714-1/6/663 (East side)
Nos.114-120 (Even)
and attached wall
GV II
Terrace of 4 houses with side wall to Hollin Road. Dated 1885.
Red brick and buff faience, probably the product of the
Burmantofts pottery, then Wilcock and Co., grey slate roof.
An 8-bay facade, 2 storeys with attics and basements, each
house of 2 bays, in elaborate Jacobean style and symmetrical
overall: d,w,d,w,w,d,w,d with a single-storey bay right.
Each house has a panelled door, the upper part glazed, a
3-pane overlight, in a moulded round arch with scrolled
keystone; a window to the side has leaded panes, in a similar
surround, far right (No.114) a moulded panel with raised
lettering, 'AD 1885'. 6-light semicircular bay windows to
ground floor have joggled voussoirs and parapet with relief
strapwork pattern and corner brackets with dragons and
griffins in high relief. Mullion and transom windows
throughout, of 1, 2 and 4 lights to first floor. Moulded
string courses enclose original rainwater pipes. An elaborate
scrolled gable with 3-light window and segmental pediment with
ball finials and a dormer window of 2 or 4 lights to each
house.
INTERIOR: not inspected but likely to contain original tiling,
fireplaces, etc.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: boundary wall at S end attached to house,
approx 30m long, 2.5m high with ball finials, dropping to
approx 1.5m at Otley Road corner, ball finial missing; towards
the rear (Hollin Mount) the wall is ramped down and the E end
is rebuilt.
HISTORICAL NOTE: between 1879 and 1884 James Holroyd
transformed the pottery business of Wilcock and Co and in 1880
he commissioned Maurice Bingham Adams (a London architect and
technical editor of The Building News) to design features for
houses to show off the potential use of Burmantofts faience;
in 1883 Alfred Waterhouse designed the new Yorkshire College,
now the University, and an important partnership was made
between him and the Burmantofts Company (so called from 1888).
This row of houses is likely to have been built to exhibit the
Burmantofts products, after James Holroyd came to live in
Headingley.
