129-135, THE CRESCENT

129-135 The Crescent is a group of four houses built in 1908 by Perry Houfton for the Brodsworth Colliery Company. The houses are constructed of red brick, with some roughcast sections, and feature a later cement-tile roof. They are two storeys high and have a symmetrical arrangement of windows on the first floor, with a pattern of 1:1:2:1:1. The centre is recessed between the taller end houses.

The wooden casements throughout have glazing bars. No. 135, on the left, has an original part-glazed, panelled door located under a wooden canopy supported by scrolled brackets, next to a four-light window. Above, there is a four-light window on the first floor. No. 133 has a matching doorway, flanked by a three-light window on the left and an oval window on the right, with a three-light window beyond. Tile dripmoulds are present, and there are two three-light windows on the first floor, with the right window paired with that of No. 131 under a gable featuring a corniced date plaque. Nos. 129 and 131 are similar but reversed in layout. The end houses have hipped roofs with swept eaves, while the central section has a lower ridge with three dentilled brick stacks. This group is part of the Woodlands colliery village and is considered a good example of its type.
