Terrace of 7 cottages. 1849, altered. For the Furness Railway Company to house their workers. Red sandstone, partly rendered or pebble-dashed; graduated slate roof with capped ridge. Two storeys; each has single window to each floor. Three reflected pairs and single house at left end (No.14). Each pair has its doors together flanked by square-headed windows; smaller, centralised first-floor windows. Stone lintels and projecting sills; later doors and casements. Stack at right end and three ridge stacks on the party walls of adjoining pairs. Important as second row of cottages built following the arrival of the Furness Railway; shown on 1850 OS map along with Nos 2-10 Salthouse Road (qv) prior to any other housing development. OS maps indicate that the left end of the row has been shortened following the development of Rawlinson Street. No.13 Salthouse Road (now adjoining No.14) is not part of the 1849 scheme and is not of special interest.
