Description
This is a terrace of workers' houses located at 1-13 Gibson Terrace, built in 1869 with 20th-century alterations and additions. The terrace was constructed by the Mason family, who owned the Oxford Mills, to house mill workers' families. The buildings are made of red brick laid in Flemish bond, featuring ashlar sandstone dressings, coped gables, and a Welsh slate roof.
The terrace has a linear plan with a layout of 1:5:4:5:1 house bays, with each house consisting of two window bays. The north-west elevation is primarily two stories, except for the gabled end houses. The two central houses are beneath a pediment, and the houses on either side have gablets, all of which include attics. Most houses have coupled doorways with shouldered jambs and shallow moulded lintels, while the end houses have sidewall entries. The doors are four-panel designs with overlights, although some have been replaced with 20th-century half-glazed versions.
Each house features a single ground floor sash window with two over two panes, set beneath a shallow lintel that is part of a lintel band. There are two first-floor windows per house, each with semi-circular arched heads and a cill band above a dentil course. The four central houses have small four-pane sash attic windows that interrupt the dentilled eaves band; the two outer houses have shallow gabled dormers, while the inner pair is beneath a pediment that includes an ashlar plaque with a bracked hood, inscribed 'H.M. 1869'. The rear elevation has been altered, now featuring a 20th-century metal walkway to the first floor.
