35-42, TANGIER LANE

A terrace of eight houses located on Tangier Lane, Eton, built around the 1860s by J.D.M. Pearce, a Maidenhead builder known as "The Concrete King". The terrace is constructed of massed concrete, with a slate roof featuring hipped ends and concrete coping to the party walls. Concrete axial stacks rise through the roof. The architectural style is Italianate.

The exterior presents an eight-window northwest front, featuring a moulded cornice and a stringcourse at first-floor level. The ground floor has paired round-arched doorways with imposts, keyblocks, and panelled doors. The windows have panelled architraves, console brackets to the string which breaks forward above, and eared architraves with small console brackets to the cills. Most windows are sash windows with margin panes, although numbers 35, 36, 38, and 39 have been replaced with plastic windows. Numbers 35 and 39 retain original 19th-century panelled doors. At the rear, each house has a two-storey outshut integrated into the design. The interior of the houses has not been inspected. The building’s walls, floors, and stacks are all built from massed concrete, poured into moveable shutters.
