Stanley Terrace And Victoria Public House (Numbers 42 And 43)

Stanley Terrace and the Victoria Public House (numbers 42 and 43) form a terrace of four houses, likely dating from the 1840s. Numbers 42 and 43 have since been incorporated into a public house, while the others have been converted into flats in the late 20th century.

The buildings are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings; numbers 42 and 43 are painted white, while the others are painted white with black dressings. The roofs are slate and hipped on the left side. The design is of a double-depth plan, with each house being double-fronted, except for number 45, which has its entrance on the left return side.

The exterior has three storeys and a ten-window range, arranged as a 1:3:3:3 grouping. Features include a plinth, plain Tuscan pilasters on the ground floor, a frieze, and a dentil-bracketed cornice. The upper floors are carried on a continuous jetty, with a sill band to the second floor and a dentil-bracketed eaves cornice. At ground level, each house (except number 45) has a large, round-headed doorway with pilaster jambs, moulded imposts and lintel, a plain fanlight, and is flanked by large, canted bay windows. Every other canted bay window extends over two storeys, alternating with two tall windows on the first floor. The second floor has two round-headed windows. All windows are unhorned sashes, with 1/2 or 2/4 glazing. Chimneys are located on the front slope. The left return side of number 45 is in a similar style.

The interior of the building has not been inspected.

The terrace forms a group with numbers 45A-48 to the left, and with the former Victoria Baths to the right.
