Description
A terrace of ten cottages dating from approximately 1848, designed by John Cunningham as part of the original layout for the Grand Junction Railway Company by engineer Joseph Locke. The cottages are constructed of brown brick with slate roofs, and are set over two storeys. Each cottage has two bays and sits on a stone plinth. The cottages were built in pairs, each featuring a Tudor arched entrance porch projecting from the front. The original entrance doors have been replaced with multi-panel doors. Windows include single-light casements within the porch gables and two-light, horizontally sliding sashes elsewhere, all with stone sills and flat, chamfered arches. Each porch gable has a small, blank sunken panel with a chamfered surround, and a slightly shaped bargeboard. The building features an eaves gutter on a moulded fascia, lead valleys, four-flue party wall stacks, and blue tile ridges. This terrace, together with numbers 2 to 20 Dorfold Street (even), numbers 1 to 19 (odd) and 2 to 20 Betley Street (even), and numbers 1 to 9 Tollitt Street (consecutive), were all built as part of the same development.
