Description
Nos. 6-9 Colston Parade is a terrace of four houses built in the late 19th century. The buildings are constructed of snecked limestone with ashlar dressings, featuring brick chimneys and a pantile roof. Designed in the Tudor Revival style, the terrace has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall with a four-bay range. Each house has two paired entrances on the outer sides.
On the ground floor, each house features a canted bay with four transomed and mullioned lights, topped with a drip mould decorated with Tudor flowers and a parapet above. The drip mould extends into a floating cornice adorned with ivy carvings above the chamfered doorway, which has a recessed design framed by six fields and a rectangular overlight. The first floor includes a tripartite mullioned window and a two-light window above the doorway, both with label moulds that have square stops at transom height. The second floor has a stepped window set in the gable, and the eaves are boxed in.
The interior has not been inspected. A plaque on No. 9 marks it as the birthplace of Samuel Plimsoll, the inventor of the Plimsoll Line.
