Numbers 9-15 And Attached Railings

Numbers 9-15 and attached railings form a terrace of four houses, dating from approximately 1822 to 1834, with later alterations. The buildings are constructed of pinkish-brown brick with painted stucco facades, and have a Welsh slate roof. Cast-iron railings and a balcony are also present.

The three-storey houses, with basement levels, originally had eight windows on the first floor. Architectural detailing includes horizontal rustication to the basement and ground floor. Pilaster strips are present on the first and second floors, to the left end, between windows two and three, and to the right of window four. Ionic pilasters are found to the left of window five, between windows six and seven, and a half pilaster to the right end of the main range. The first floor has tall windows with 6/9 sashes in plain reveals. The second floor features 6/6 sashes in plain reveals, with sills throughout. The ground floor windows are 6/6 sashes in plain reveals, also with sills.

Shared entrances are found at numbers 9 and 11, off-centre and to the left of the third window, with nine roll-edged steps leading to a 6-panel door and overlight with glazing bars in plain reveals. A similar entrance is located at number 13, below and to the left of the fifth window, with channelled reveals. A similar entrance is present at number 15, below and to the left of the seventh window. The basement level features a plate-glass door, 1/8 sash window, a blocked opening, an 8/8 sash window, two plate-glass doors, another 8/8 sash window, a 6-panel door, and a final 8/8 sash window. Tall ridge stacks are visible. A continuous balcony, featuring a double rod-and-anthemion motif, runs along the first floor.

Inside number 13 is a staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail.

Subsidiary features include area railings with anthemion finials, along with railings to the sides of the steps.

Dormer Place, originally known as The Promenade, was laid out around 1822 and the north side constructed by 1834.
