44 and 46 London Street

Terraced shops and flats, constructed in the mid-C18 and extended in the C20.

MATERIALS: the street-facing, east elevation of 44 and 46 is painted Flemish and English-bond brickwork. The rear range is rendered. The roof is covered in plain clay tiles.

PLAN: 44 and 46 London Street are two terraced buildings of two storeys with an attic. 44 London Street has a carriage entrance at street level leading westward to Crossland Road. Extending westward from the rear elevation of both buildings is a long, two-storey gabled extension.

EXTERIOR: 44 and 46 London Street each have a similar east, street-facing façade, consisting of a ten-pane glazed door, a large glazed shopfront, two casement windows on the first floor, and a gabled four-pane dormer window to the steeply-pitched, clay tile gambrel roof. The northernmost ground-floor bay of 44 London Street forms a carriageway with a timber lintel that leads to the rear. There is a door and a window (both C20 or C21 replacements) to the north elevation of 44 London Street, facing the carriageway. All windows and doors on the east front, excluding the dormer of 46 London Street, appear to be late-C20 or C21 replacements, including the first-floor casement windows which are all uPVC. The roof covering of 44 London Street appears to have been replaced in the C20.
