Description
Redcross Cottages is a row of six cottages built in 1887 by Elijah Hoole, located on the west side of Redcross Way, overlooking Redcross Gardens. The cottages are constructed of red brick and stucco, featuring steeply pitched tiled roofs that reflect a strong Arts and Craft influence. Each cottage has a gabled front and is two stories high, with one bay each. The entrance to No. 1 is located on the return side, which is tile-hung at the first floor. The first floors are jettied and variously panelled in stucco. The cottages have wide, mullioned windows and bays of different designs, with Nos. 2 and 4 featuring canted bays at the first floor, and No. 4 being tile-hung below the window. The interior has not been inspected. Redcross Cottages are part of a group with Whitecross Cottages, Nos. 1-6 on Ayres Street, and Nos. 8 and 8A on Ayres Street, showcasing the ideals of Octavia Hill, who was a pioneer of healthy housing for the working class.
