Arkwright House, Grade II* listed building in Stoneygate, Preston, England
Arkwright House features a three-storey brick construction with a stucco facade, slate roof, and symmetrical five-window range at the front.
Built in 1728, the house gained recognition when Richard Arkwright developed the revolutionary water frame spinning machine in its back room in 1768.
The property demonstrates early Georgian architectural design through its L-shaped structure, sash windows with raised sills, and wooden doorway with pedimented architrave.
Age Concern Central Lancashire operates from this historical building, offering services to older residents across the Lancashire region.
The development of the water frame spinning machine at this location marks Arkwright House as a birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
