The Weavers Cottages
11.02.2000 II
3 houses with attic workshops, mid C18 and late C18, with later C19 and C20 alterations. Red brick, with C20 pebbledash, and Welsh slate and plain tile roof with ridge stacks and dentilled eaves. 3 storeys. Windows arranged 1:1:2, boarded at time of survey. Late C18 pair, to left (20 & 21) has to left an early C19 boarded door with hood and segmentally arched arch-headed window. To the right, a later C19 shopfront with single window under cornice and flanked by pilasters. Recessed board door to right. Above, 2 segment headed windows, and above again, 2 flat headed windows. Rear elevation, obscured by late C20 additions, has two C19 3-light casements to the second floor. Mid C18 house to right, (No 22) has early C19 doorcase and board door to left, and C19 shop window, now blocked. To right, an airbrick in a former small window. Above, a segment headed window to left, and a smaller flat headed window to right. Above again, 2 flat headed windows. Once corresponding blocked window to rear elevation. INTERIOR: No 20 has original staircase and 2 C19 3-light windows, one 6-panel and 3 board doors, early C19. No 21 has altered staircase, and chamfered span beam with stops. Number 22 has principal fireplace with C19 and C20 infilling, original staircase and enclosure, exposed original structural timber, and C19 matchboard ceiling to second floor. These buildings, which combine domestic and workshop functions are rare survivals from the period associated with the domestic worsted weaving industry in Kidderminster, which preceded the development of the C19 carpet industry. The interiors retain much of their distinctive plan form, and No 22 appears to have been specifically designed for industrial use.
