Description

Nos 40 and 42 Myrdle Street are two terraced houses built in the early 19th century. They are constructed of yellow stock brick and rise three storeys with semi-basements. Each house has two windows and features round-arched entrances. The doorways have blocked fanlights, cornice-heads, and six-panelled doors. There are gauged brick flat arches above the recessed sash windows, and the buildings have parapets. The interiors are believed to retain some original features.
