Numbers 1 To 9 (Consecutive) With Railings To Front

Numbers 1 to 9 St Aidan’s Terrace form a terrace of nine houses built around 1850 in Birkenhead, Cheshire. The houses are constructed with ashlar facing onto brick, and have Welsh slate roofs. They are three storeys high with basements, and are arranged symmetrically with projecting outer and stepped central bays. Each house has a five-window front, with a central doorway and two windows to the principal rooms on either side. The outer houses have Doric portico porches and round-arched sash windows on the ground floor. The first-floor sash windows have alternately segmental and triangular pedimented heads supported by brackets. The central house is similar in design. The linking ranges have doorways within architraves, with engaged shafts, alongside a canted bay window to one room and two four-pane sash windows to another. Upper windows feature stressed entablatures carried on brackets. The terrace has end wall stacks.
