Place & story
A house divided between occupants
At 15 Waterside, the historic-building survey records Andrew Stedman taking up residence around 1859. By 1897, James Watton occupied the upper house and outbuildings, while a neighbouring proprietor, Andrew Reid, used the stable and loft. John Clements occupied the house and shop in 1924, with George Stedman using the stable. [2]
Successive shops at number six
The survey of 6 Waterside records a shop occupied by Miss Hughes in 1916 and James White in 1927. Living accommodation stood above the commercial premises. Earlier yard buildings included a stable, shed and store; subsequent alterations removed the stables and extended the rear of the property. [3]
Surviving entrances and windows
Number six retains a separate recessed entrance to its upper accommodation, with timber panelling and iron door furniture. Decorative black-and-white tiles survive at the shop entrance step. Opposite, number fifteen has timber sash windows above its altered ground floor, preserving details of the terraces’ nineteenth-century domestic accommodation. [3] [2]
