Numbers 47-57 And Attached Railings

Numbers 47 to 57 Mount Pleasant form a terrace of six houses, dating back to circa 1720. Numbers 55 and 57 are believed to have been rebuilt later in the 19th century, replicating the original appearance.

Number 47 is constructed of brown brick, with a stucco band on the second floor and a parapet. A brick cornice sits below the parapet, and the roof is tiled with a dormer window. The house has three storeys, an attic and a cellar, and features three windows. It has a later 19th-century shopfront with a 20th-century door and fascia, flanked by consoles. The windows are flush frame sashes with exposed boxing, set within gauged red brick segmental arches and red brick dressings. The interior was not inspected, but it is noted to contain stairs with turned balusters and column newels.

Number 49 is also of brown brick, with a brick band on the second floor and a cornice below the parapet. It has a tiled mansard roof with dormers, three storeys, an attic and a cellar, and three windows. A 20th-century reproduction wooden shopfront features round-arched lights and a panelled stallboard, with later 19th-century consoles flanking the fascia. The windows are flush frame sashes with exposed boxing and hinged sash supports, set within gauged red brick segmental arches and red brick dressings. The interior was not inspected, but is noted to be panelled.

Numbers 51 and 53 have stuccoed fronts, with rusticated ground floors and quoins. They have 20th-century tiled mansard roofs with dormers, three storeys, attics and basements, and three windows each. The ground floors have 20th-century sashes and panelled doors. The upper floors feature segmental-arched, architraved, recessed sashes with exposed boxing; the 1st floor of Number 51 and the 1st and 2nd floors of Number 53 have gated sashes. They are finished with parapets. The interiors were not inspected.

Numbers 55 and 57 are of red brick, with Number 55 painted. They have tiled double-pitched roofs and brick cornices below the parapets. Number 55 has a 20th-century ground floor terrazzo betting shop frontage, but retains a wooden doorcase with pilasters and brackets supporting a flat hood. The windows have gauged brick segmental arches and recessed sashes with exposed boxing. A centrally positioned tablet with a moulded brick cornice, inscribed "Dorrington Street 1720", is present at first floor level, though it is not in its original location.

Attached cast-iron railings with urn finials define the areas of Numbers 51 and 53.
