Numbers 6 To 11 And Attached Railings

Numbers 6 to 11 form a terrace of six houses, now used as houses, flats, and commercial buildings, dating to circa 1810-1830. The terrace is shown on the Post Office Map of 1820 and Merrett’s 1834 map, with a possible gap to the east of numbers 6 and 7. The buildings are constructed of brick with stucco facades and slate roofs, featuring iron verandahs (except at number 11) and forecourt railings. They have a double-depth plan with service ranges to the rear.

The exterior is three storeys with a basement and 18 first-floor windows (three per house). Stucco detailing includes rustication to the ground floor, drawn into voussoirs over openings, floor bands, a frieze, cornice, and blocking course. The basement, first, and second floors have 6/6 sash windows, taller to the first floor; 1/1 replacement sashes are found on the ground floor, all in plain reveals with sills. The entrances, three to the left and three to the right, feature flights of steps leading to 5- and 6-panel doors, flanked by pilaster strips and side-lights with batwing-and-circle fanlights.

Interior details are not documented, but shutters are visible. Subsidiary features include first-floor verandahs with heart-and-anthemion motifs to the balustrades, likely supplied by W Wheeler, along with railings to numbers 6-9 bearing the supplier's name on the urn finials. Area railings have stick balusters and lattice panels, some of which have been reset; spearhead railings are present to the sides of the steps and between the plots, with anthemion finials to the street. Window boxes to the ground floor of number 10 have a scroll motif.

Cambray Place was originally a wide avenue leading to Cambray House, formerly rented by the Duke of Wellington, but since demolished and replaced by a mid-20th century block of flats. The railings and balustrades were supplied by W Wheeler and Carron Company respectively.
