Description
A terrace of sixteen cottages was built between 1846 and 1847 for the Great Western Railway Company as part of a village designed to house workers for the railway works. The cottages are constructed from coursed squared rubble with ashlar door and window surrounds, and have coursed rubble rear walls. Slate roofs are topped with brick stacks on party walls. Each cottage is two-storey and one bay deep, with a through side passage and two rooms to the rear. A twentieth-century brick lean-to has been added to the rear. The cottages feature a low, chamfered plinth, twentieth-century fifteen-pane glazed doors with chamfered surrounds and splayed stops, and four-pane sash windows in chamfered surrounds. There are no yard walls. They are similar in style to the cottages at 3-18 Reading Street. The cottages underwent extensive renovation around 1974.
