Description
Nos. 44 and 46 Whielden Street are a pair of buildings dating to 1693, with alterations made in the 18th century. They are constructed of red and grey brick with an old tile roof, incorporating a single two-light dormer with leaded glazing. The buildings are two storeys and have an attic. Each building has four double-hung sashes with cills and flat, gauged arches. No. 44 has a painted cement plinth and a late 18th-century round-headed doorway featuring a semi-circular fanlight and a six-panel door. No. 46 has a flat-arched doorway with a rectangular fanlight and a six-panel door, the two upper panels being glazed.
A central terracotta plaque, elliptically arched with spandrel panels and a carved keyblock, is positioned on the first floor. This plaque features a cartouche with a coat of arms, topped by a shell ornament and supported by consoles. A moulded cornice with a swag is positioned between the consoles, above a pulvinated frieze cornice and a segmental pediment. The plaque is inscribed with the raised letters “HWK” and the date 1693.
