Description
Nos. 40 and 42 on Lower Dagnall Street are an early 19th-century pair of houses made of red brick. Each two-storey house features geometrically shaped panels of blue headers that divide the wall into two sections. The windows, which are replaced sashes set in flush box frames, are located in the outer, wider sections under segmental brick arches. The doors, found in the inner section, are in flush, moulded frames. There are diamond patterns in the brickwork at the first-floor level. The houses have a low-pitched slate roof with eaves soffit, making them a good example of local early 19th-century brickwork.
