Description
Nos. 73 and 75 on The Crescent are a pair of semi-detached houses built in 1908 by Percy Houfton for the Brodsworth Colliery Company. They are constructed from roughcast brick and have a later cement-tile roof. The houses are asymmetrical, featuring two storeys with a window arrangement of 1:2:1 on the first floor. All windows are wooden casements with glazing bars.
No. 75, on the left, has a boarded door with three-light windows to the left and a one-light window and a three-light window to the right, both with tile dripmoulds. No. 73 mirrors this layout but is handed, with its ground-floor windows set higher. On the first floor, both houses have three-light windows, with the central windows paired and a tile dripcourse beneath the gable, which is decorated with a motif of squares. The eaves are swept, and there is a corniced end stack on the right, corbelled from the gable, along with a matching central ridge stack and an altered end stack on the left.
At the rear, there are round-headed doorways and flanking four-pane casements, all braced by tile hoodmoulds, and circular casements on the first floor. These houses are part of the Woodlands colliery village, which is noted for its historical significance in the area.
