9-11, PARK STREET

Nos. 9 to 11 Park Street comprise three early 19th-century houses forming a symmetrical group. They are three storeys and have a basement, built of London stock brick with a small modillioned Portland stone cornice and blocking course above the second-floor windows, and have slate roofs.

No. 9 has four windows on the upper floors and three on the ground floor. A tall, six-panelled flush door is located to the left of the centre, featuring a rectangular moulded wooden panel above it and a semi-circular fanlight with radiating and concentric patterns. This door is sheltered by an Ionic portico composed of two columns, two pilasters, an entablature, and a pediment, accessed by five moulded stone steps. There are three basement windows, and the areas are enclosed by light, geometrical cast-iron railings. A slightly later storey extension is visible at the back on the left, matching the cornice and window detailing. A yard wall with brick arcading was formerly present to the left but has been demolished.

Nos. 10 and 11 are of similar materials and design but are three bays wide. No. 10 has two cast lead rainwater heads and pipes with small lion masks. It lacks glazing bars in the ground floor windows, and the steps have been tiled with chequered black and white tiles. Each house has three windows on the upper floors, two on the ground floor, and a six-panelled door in a brick arched recess to the left. The door and fanlight of No. 11 are similar to those of No. 9, while No. 10 has raised mouldings on its door panels.

The three houses have a small stone kerb to the pavement. No. 9 retains its original cast iron railing with alternating turned and pierced balusters; every twelfth rail is twisted. No. 10 has mid-19th century cast iron railings, and those of No. 11 have been removed.
