Numbers 7 To 21 (Odd) And Attached Railings

Terraced houses, built in 1848, developed by James and Thomas Ward, and possibly designed by Samuel Angell, Surveyor to the Clothworkers' Company. The houses are located between Cruden Street and Raleigh Street and form a symmetrical group. They are constructed of grey brick in Flemish bond, with stucco detailing, and have roofs of Welsh and artificial slate. The arrangement consists of three principal two-bay blocks with single-bay wings at the ends; the entrance bays are recessed and paired, and the window bays of the inner houses (numbers 9 to 19) are also paired. Steps lead up to flat-arched porches with pilaster jambs supporting an entablature. The recessed flat-arched entrances feature moulded architraves and studded, panelled doors, except for number 9. Window bays are flanked by giant pilasters carrying an entablature. The flat-arched windows have stucco architraves and a cornice to the ground floor, and most feature sashes of an unusual pattern with margin lights. A moulded stucco eaves cornice runs along the top, and dormers are present in the roof. Antefixae fronting the party walls project above the roof and support chimney stacks. The area railings are unusually ornate, with castellated standards and palmette finials.
