Includes: Nos.119 AND 121 THE HEADROW.
Shop and offices. Probably 1894, altered and extended late
C20. By EJ Dodgshun. Red brick with terracotta bands and
ornament, cast-iron railing, rebuilt slate roof. 4 storeys and
attic, 4 bays. A corner site with The Headrow; the Park Row
facade only remains. Elaborate and informal Flemish style.
Ground floor: steps up to central panelled door in terracotta
surround with attached columns, double arched fanlight and
pediment; corner pilasters. Fenestration: plate-glass display
windows to ground floor, paired and single sashes to upper
floors, bays 2 and 3, corner oriel turret through 2nd and 3rd
floors left, moulded soffit and plaques, octagonal ogee dome,
tall ball finial; 3-storey segmental oriel bow right has
decorated soffit, railing above cornice which fronts a deeply
set window in a round arch with terracotta voussoirs, Flemish
gable above.
Above the eaves cornice, centre, 3 moulded plaques to left
have a Flemish gable above and a short railing to right.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
The distinction between the moulded plaques and the railing
reveals the property division: No.23 Park Row to right, and
the former right return of Nos 119-121 The Headrow on left.
The building was originally called Peacock's Buildings, the
premises of Peacock and Son, warehousemen; the Bradford Old
Bank occupied part of the building in 1905 and was probably in
the left part, marked 'bank' on the 1910 OS map. There were
another 11 businesses using the building in 1905.
