77 and 79 London Street

A pair of substantial houses dating from the mid-18th century. They are constructed of grey brick with red brick and stucco dressings. Number 77 has a hipped roof covered in plain tiles with two valleys running along its length; this roof form was likely repeated over number 79, though number 79 now has a flat roof. No chimney stacks remain.

The houses are attached and face west onto London Street, with number 77 to the north and number 79 to the south. They present a symmetrical frontage, five windows wide, with a pair of entrances in the centre. The doorway to number 79 retains what is believed to be its original door surround, featuring a shallow hood supported by console brackets and a rectangular fanlight, while the details were removed from number 77 after 1943. Number 79 retains a six-panelled door; the doorway to number 77 is currently boarded up. All windows are six-over-six sash windows, set within openings featuring red brick jambs and flat arches constructed of gauged brick. One ground-floor window on number 77 has lost one of its red brick jambs. The central windows on the first and second floors are thought to belong to number 79. The houses have stuccoed plinths and horizontal bands of stucco between the floors. Number 77 retains a moulded cornice, which has been simplified on number 79. Above, the parapets on both houses appear to have been rebuilt.

At the rear, the ground-floor level of number 77 is obscured by a later addition, and the upper floors have an irregular arrangement of windows. The rear elevation of number 79 is now entirely hidden by later additions.
