Manchester Square

Manchester Square is a terrace of eleven houses built between 1849 and 1850 for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company. The terrace forms the north side of a large courtyard that opens onto the street to the west. The buildings are constructed of brick with a slate roof.

Architecturally, the terrace is two storeys high with eleven first-floor windows. Each house has a twentieth-century glazed door set beneath a rubbed brick cambered arch and sheltered by a painted moulded ashlar hood supported on square brackets. The ground floor features twelve-pane sashes with projecting cills and cambered brick arches. The first floor has similar sashes, though No. 4 has twentieth-century casements. A wooden eaves board and gutter with moulded brackets run along the roofline. There are six axial stacks, and the eaves overhang at the returns. A door is located in the left return of No. 1.
