8,10 and 12, Silver Street

Nos. 8, 10, and 12 Silver Street is a house that dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century and has been converted into three cottages. The building is constructed of narrow red brick with irregular bonding and features broad mortar courses. It has a steeply pitched roof covered with long straw thatch, plain brick eaves cornice, and stepped end parapets supported by kneelers. Originally, there were projecting end stacks; the right-hand stack has three cut-down shafts on a base with a round recessed blind panel, while the left-hand stack has three rebuilt diagonally set shafts.

The building is two storeys high, with the front elevation framed by original red brick pilasters that have moulded bricks for capitals. There is a three-brick band that divides the two storeys. The first floor features one 19th-century horizontal sliding sash window and two casement windows. The three ground floor windows, although later additions, retain late 17th-century elliptical arches with raised key blocks. There are three doorways; Nos. 8 and 12 have original arches, while No. 10 has a 19th-century arch made of yellow brick. The rear elevation also has similar pilasters at the corners. The interior has not been seen.
