1-7 (Odd) And 2-8 (Even) With Attached Fences To The Rear

This listing describes two parallel terraces located on Jane Street in Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne, built between 1978 and 1980 by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor, with Vernon Gracie as the site architect and structural engineering by White, Young and Partners. The terraces are constructed with pale metric modular brick cladding over concrete block work, featuring a concrete Marley Modern tiled roof.

Numbers 1 and 2 are three storeys high, while the rest are two storeys. The first terrace (Nos. 1-7) has blue weatherboarding and brick porches, with first-floor windows designed as a continuous strip accented by vertical blue weatherboarded sections. The second terrace (Nos. 2-8) features brick porches and brown weatherboarding, with number 2 having a green door hood instead of a porch. The windows are timber framed with aluminium opening lights, and the doors are also timber.

The two terraces are connected by a fence that includes a central timber arch, and both have green fences at the back. This group of buildings is noted for its unusual and distinctive design, situated on the brow of the hill.
