Description

Nos 8 and 9 on West Stockwell Street are early 18th century houses featuring notable architectural details. The front is constructed of red brick and has a coping, standing three storeys tall with a five-window range of double hung sashes that have segmental heads and glazing bars. There are two adjoining central doorcases; one is adorned with Ionic columns, an arched doorway, and a decorated architrave, while the other features Tuscan columns, an open pediment, and a semi-circular fanlight. The rear of the building is timber-framed and may date back to the 17th century. Nos 2 to 15, which are consecutive, form a group.
