10, 11 AND 12, DRURY LANE

Numbers 10, 11, and 12 on Drury Lane are a group of three cottages that were originally a dye-works. They were converted for residential use around 1900 by Richard Harding Watt. The cottages are built of painted brick and topped with Welsh slate roofs. They are two stories high and feature a six-window range. The doorways are located towards the left and center, with an additional entrance in a single-storey porch on the right-hand unit. The windows are all modern casements, with segmental relieving arches on the ground floor and flat-arched heads on the first floor. Many of the lower openings have been altered, but the earlier brick arched heads can still be seen. The doorways on the left and center are recessed. Larger original openings on the rear wall have been infilled, although the heavy timber lintels remain. The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of a notable development in Free Style architecture, created under the guidance of Richard Harding Watt.
