Description
This is a terrace of nine cottages built around 1848 by John Cunningham, as part of Engineer Joseph Locke's original design for the Grand Junction Railway Company. These cottages are now private dwellings. They are constructed of brown brick with slate roofs and stand two storeys high, featuring two bays each set on a stone plinth. The cottages are arranged in handed pairs, with Tudor arched entrance porches flanking a projecting gable. The original entrance doors have been replaced with multi-panel doors.
The cottages have single light casements in the porch gables and two light horizontally sliding sash windows elsewhere, all equipped with stone sills and flat chamfered arches. There is a small blank sunken panel with a chamfered surround at the apex of the porch gables, along with slightly shaped narrow barge boards. The eaves feature a moulded fascia, and there are lead valleys, four-flue party wall stacks, and blue tile ridges. The development also includes Nos. 1 to 19 (odd) and Nos. 2 to 20 (even) Betley Street and Nos. 1 to 19 (odd) and Nos. 2 to 20 (even) Dorfold Street.
