63-79, Cozens Road

A terrace of eight former railway workers' cottages built in the mid-19th century, around 1847, by Grissell and Peto, who were builders and architects for the Norfolk Railway Company. The cottages are constructed of red brick, originally with yellow brick detailing, although much of the brickwork is now rendered. They have slate roofs and brick ridge chimneys. The terrace is single-storey with attics, extending across sixteen windows. The end cottages are slightly forward. The cottages originally had doors in the centre of each unit, but these have been replaced in Nos. 65, 77 and 79 with 20th-century doors and projecting porches with four-centred heads and pediments. No. 71 has a 20th-century door set within a porch, flanked by casement windows, while Nos. 65, 75, 77 and 79 have had their original windows replaced with 20th-century plate glass. A plain brick string course runs along the front. Gabled half-dormers light the attic rooms.

The terrace forms part of a distinctive group of planned workers' dwellings in Norwich, arranged around a roughly triangular common drying yard paved with flint and cobbles. The area was previously known as Railway Cottages and is part of the same development found in Hardy Road.
