Albion Place

Albion Place, circa 1825-35, was designed by Richard Billing, a local architect and builder. It is a substantial terrace of houses, with 3 storeys, an attic, and a basement. The facade is stuccoed, with channelled detailing on the ground floor. A string course runs beneath the first-floor windows, and a moulded cornice is topped by a parapet featuring balustraded panels over the windows. The building is covered by a slate roof.

The terrace presents a symmetrical appearance, with the two end houses projecting slightly. Each house has three semi-circular headed dormers, some featuring radiating glazing, and three ranges of glazing bars in the sash windows. The end houses have architraves and cornices to the central first-floor windows. Ground-floor windows are round-headed, with radiating glazing, corresponding to the segmental-headed recessed doorways featuring six-panelled doors. These doorways are framed by Greek Doric fluted columns supporting a Greek Key pattern, capped by a radiating fanlight. Contemporary cast iron railings define the areas and steps. A carriage sweep extends in front, edged by pairs of panelled, pyramidal-capped stone piers at each end.
