Description

This is a row of three houses located at 8, 10, and 12 Main Street in Heysham, likely built in 1721 with 19th-century additions. The houses are roughcast with a slate roof and stand two storeys tall. Number 10 features two bays and has early 18th-century style windows that are chamfered with flush mullions. All windows have two lights, except for the right-hand window on the ground floor, which has three lights. The window surrounds are painted and contain casements with glazing bars. The central door of number 10 has a cyma-moulded stone surround, and above it is a plaque inscribed with 'R B I 1721'. Numbers 8 and 12 each have one bay and feature 20th-century casement windows in deeply-chamfered painted stone surrounds of 19th-century style. Number 12 has late 20th-century louvred false shutters. Both houses have painted stone door surrounds, and their glazed timber doors and porch hoods are of late 20th-century date. There are chimneys with 19th-century ashlar caps located between the houses and on the gables.
