Nos 15 To 19, With Backyard Walls And Outbuildings

This is a terrace of cottages dating from around 1870, built by the Ashington Coal Company. The terrace comprises numbers 15 to 19, along with associated backyard walls and outbuildings. The cottages are constructed of brick in an English Garden Wall Bond pattern, with painted stone sills and lintels, and have Welsh slate roofs. Each cottage is two storeys high and two bays wide. The doors have been renewed, with those of numbers 17 to 19 including overlights. Most windows are 4-pane sashes; number 15 features paired ground-floor windows, and ground-floor windows at numbers 16 and 18 have been altered. The roof has banded ridge stacks. The backyard walls include boarded hatches and yard doors, with attached outbuildings. These are among the least altered of the original miners’ rows built by the Coal Company between approximately 1855 and 1878, when they constructed around 300 houses.
