Description

These houses, numbered 96 to 106 Dunstable Street, originally date back to at least the 17th century, with a continuous roofline and evidence that many remain interconnected on the upper floors. The facade has been restored in a piecemeal fashion over the years. The range was originally half-timbered, with remnants of this construction visible at the gable end of number 96 and at the rear. The properties are two storeys high and feature two gable features in the centre, at numbers 102 and 104, along with two gabled dormers.

Number 96 has a front that is slightly splayed backwards. It has one ground-floor window, which features a Victorian bowed shop front of modest quality, and a first-floor window with a three-light sash casement within a gable end. Number 98 is faced with rusticated stucco and has a ground-floor shop with 19th-century fittings and a first-floor window, a sash casement within a broad flush frame, set in a gabled dormer. Number 100 also has rusticated stucco and three ground-floor windows, largely obscured by modern shop fittings, with first-floor Yorkshire lights in broad frames. This property features a gabled dormer with simple curving bargeboards.

Number 102 is a mix of clunch and stucco, featuring three windows—some with broad frames flush with the facade, and others with plain reveals—and a carriage archway. A small 18th-century six-panel door is present. Number 104 is clunch repaired with cement, featuring a modern shop front on the ground floor and a first-floor window with three-light sashes in plain reveals. The larger gable feature is truncated and finished with stone. Number 106 is constructed of late 18th-century red brick, with deep wooden eaves supported at each end by carved wooden consoles, and features four windows in plain reveals, alongside an 18th-century six-panel door.

Numbers 96 to 110 (even) form a notable group.
