Description
This pair of semi-detached houses, known as Nos 1-2 The Causeway, was built around 1883 by George Sherrin for the workers at Samuel Courtauld's textile mill. Designed in the Queen Anne style, the houses are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with decorative moulded bricks. They feature a hipped tiled roof with a central tall ribbed chimney stack.
The buildings are two storeys high and have two windows. A prominent large projecting curved gable adorns the center, decorated with moulded bricks. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has 20-pane sash windows, all framed with moulded brick voussoirs and keystones, and equipped with shutters. On either side of the gable, there are wide doorcases topped with flat weather hoods supported by brackets, leading to half-glazed doors. A stringcourse of moulded bricks in a splayed leaf design runs along the façade, and there is a plinth at the base.
Attached to the side of the building is a low brick wall with original iron gates. The cottages were featured in 'The British Architect' on 20 March 1885.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
