1-11, Park Street

A row of six terraced houses built in 1831, with later 19th-century shop fronts. Designed by Henry Rose, the houses are constructed of brick in Flemish bond, with slate roofs to number 5, and hidden behind parapets on the others. The houses are three stories high, with number 5 having two dormers. Numbers 1 to 5 and 9 are of a 2-window range, while the rest are of a 3-window range. The shop fronts feature broad fascias, projecting cornices, pilasters on the party walls and brackets supporting the cornice of number 5. Authentic 6x6 sash windows are present on the first and second floors, with an exception to the second floor of number 3. A stucco-faced parapet runs along the second floor. A stucco plaque between the first and second floors of number 7 reads: "This part of the estate of the late Thomas Cure Esq, Sadler to Queen Elizabeth and Founder of the College was rebuilt AD 1831. John Wild Jr., Warden, Archt. [obscured]". The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the houses were built to generate income for almshouses that stood to the rear of the site, accessible through the gap between numbers 11 and 13. These almshouses were later rebuilt in Norwood following the construction of a railway.
