Nos 5-9 (Consecutive) Including Iron Railings Along Inner Edge Of Pavement

A row of four cottages, numbered 5 to 9, with a shop in number 5, likely dating to the late 18th or early 19th century. Most of the cottages are now partly below ground level, with a narrow, railed area in front. The facades are solid and rendered, with slate roofs, the roof of number 5 being hipped towards the street. There are four irregularly placed chimneys: two of old red brick on numbers 5 and 6, a rendered chimney on number 7, and a 20th-century red-brick chimney on the party wall between numbers 8 and 9.

Number 5, which has a shop, is of two-window range, while numbers 6 to 9 are each of one-window range. The front door of number 5 is a 6-panelled design with the two lower panels flush. To the left of the door is a cart entrance with a shaped surround. An original small-paned bow window is to the right, with an entablature and modillioned cornice. The upper-storey windows of number 5 have shaped surrounds and modern wood frames. The other four cottages have 20th-century replacement doors. Plain sash windows are on the ground floor of numbers 6 and 7. In the upper storey, number 6 has a 2-light wood casement window with two panes per light; number 7 has 6-paned sash windows; number 8 has 2-light, 6-paned Yorkshire sash windows; and number 9 has 2-paned sash windows with horns. The interior has not been inspected.

The area railing consists of 12 iron hoops carrying two sets of horizontal bars, the upper bars braced from behind where they run through the hoops. Opposite numbers 8 and 9 is a plainer railing along a flight of steps leading down to the area.
