A terrace of small houses, formerly 10, now 8. c1840. By William Steggles. White brick and slate roof with a plain eaves soffit. Rear walls in random flint and red brick. 5 internal chimney-stacks with plain white brick shafts surmounted by groups of ceramic pots. The end bays and the centre break forward slightly. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and cellars. 10 window range: 12-pane sashes in plain reveals with flat gauged arches except for No.21, which has C20 replacement windows. A raised stone band runs at 1st storey window sill level. Spaced across the front above each original pair of doorways are 4 blank windows. On the ground storey the windows to Nos 21, 24, the former 27 and 29 are wider, with 20 panes, except for No.21. 2 end doorways and 4 pairs of doorways spaced along the row, all in plain semicircular brick arches with stone impost bands and blank fanlights. Nos 25 and 26, and Nos 27 and 28 have each been made into a single house and the former doorways of Nos 26 and 27 now contain windows. The remaining doors are partly 4-panel and partly 6-panel, apart from No.21, which has a half-glazed C20 door. INTERIOR: no features earlier than C19 apart from the cellars, which probably relate to the previous houses on the site.
