Tambourine Cottages with Front Garden Walls

A row of eight terraced cottages dates from the mid to later 19th century and is situated in Lytham St Annes. The cottages have cobble front garden walls with red brick quoins and sandstone dressings, topped with slate roofs. They follow a double-depth linear plan, with each cottage having a single front. The cottages originally had a symmetrical appearance, with a two-storey gabled porch in the centre, shared by numbers 66 and 68. Numbers 60/62 and 72/74 project slightly at each end. The central porch has a two-light window on the ground floor, a pair of two-light windows above, a steeply pitched roof, and doorways in the side walls. Number 70 has an added gabled porch, and number 74 a small porch attached to the gable end. The gable end of number 60 has been altered into a shop. Most windows are mullioned two-light casements with six panes to each light, raised sills, and chamfered lintels, though those in numbers 66 and 70 have been altered. There are six ridge chimneys. The front garden wall is approximately one metre high, built of coursed cobbles in a herringbone pattern with pitched coping and simple gate piers. The rear of the cottages and their interiors have not been inspected.
