Description
This is an early 19th century terrace of two-storey houses located on the north side of East Reach. The buildings are constructed of brown brick with a tile roof and eaves. Each house originally had two sash windows on each floor, though some windows on the first floors have been blocked. Number 56 has a later shop front inserted. Two doorways feature round arches with fluted quarter columns within the reveals. The buildings are included on the list due to their group value and form a group with numbers 57.
