Description
High Blue Row is a terrace of four houses built around 1840. The houses are constructed from rubble and are colourwashed, featuring a green slate roof, except for blue slates on the outshut. The terrace is two storeys high and has eight bays. The end houses have boarded doors with overlights in the end bays, along with windows in the adjacent bay. The inner houses share a porch that has two small sash windows with pointed heads, and the doorways are located in the return walls. There are also windows in the bays flanking the porch and above the porch roof. All the windows are late 19th century sashes. The roof is hipped and has two pairs of stone ridge stacks. At the rear, there is a contemporary outshut with various openings. This terrace is listed as an example of lead mine housing.
