8,10,12,14,9 AND 26A, SILVER STREET (See details for further address information)

A row of houses and a corner shop were built in two phases, 1868-9 and 1895, by Alfred William Maberly of Gloucester for Earl Bathurst. A matching house, number 8 Silver Street, was added in 1895. The buildings also incorporate numbers 9, 11, 15 and 17 Black Jack Street. Constructed from rock-faced limestone with ashlar dressings, the roofs are clad in clay tiles with nine ashlar ridge and end stacks, and a similar stack to the rear of the Black Jack Street range. The long ranges fronting Silver Street and Black Jack Street meet at the corner, with a shop on the corner.

The Silver Street elevation is two storeys with an attic and a cellar, and has a ten-window range. The first floor features eight two-light chamfered stone mullion-and-transom windows with 19th-century iron casements, hoodmoulds, and relieving arches. There are also two single-light windows of a similar design. The ground floor has five similar two-light windows and three single-light windows. Four plank doors with 19th-century ironmongery, including decorative strap hinges and single-pane overlights in chamfered surrounds with hoodmoulds and relieving arches, are present. A pair of similar doors at the centre are set within a surround with a four-centred arched head, hoodmould, and relieving arch. Eight gabled half-dormers feature two-light chamfered stone mullion-and-transom windows with 19th-century iron casements, canted heads to the upper lights, moulded timber bargeboards with fretwork decoration on timber brackets. The building has a chamfered plinth and a moulded string above the ground floor. Nine rectangular-section 19th-century cast-iron downpipes are present, along with decorative hopper heads.

The shop, located at the left end of the Silver Street elevation, has a three-sided front matching the rest of the building. It has one two-light window and two flanking single-light windows to the first floor, plus a dormer window above. The ground floor features a three-light shop window with decorative quatrefoil panels below, a similar single-light window to the right, and a half-glazed door to the left. A wrought-iron balconette with anthemion decoration is above the centre first-floor window, and a wrought-iron weathervane sits at the roof apex.

The Black Jack Street elevation is a ten-window range, designed in a matching style. The interiors have not been inspected. Historical records indicate an agreement for the erection of three cottages in Silver Street was made on 16th July 1868.
