Building record 1160/0/132 - 15 Ecton Street

Former workshop associated with the boot and shoe industry built around the turn of the 20th century. Now converted to residential use. Locally listed building

{1} Level 2 historic building recording of the building prior to its conversion to a single residential dwelling. Constructed between 1885 and 1901 from red brick after the surrounding terraces had been built. The ground floor of the building has a street front entrance and a back door leading to the small yard and presumably the former privy for the workers. On the upper floor a blocked doorway is present on the western wall which would have presumably connected with the former adjacent terraced house and provided access for the owner/manager. No original internal fittings remained.
