50 Canal Street, Newry, Co Down, BT35 6JF

This is a terrace house located on Canal Street, Newry, built between 1820 and 1839. It is the right-hand unit of a group of three similar, three-story, two-bay houses. The pitched roof is covered in slate and features a concrete chimney with five pots on the right gable. Rainwater goods are semicircular metal, discharging directly to adjacent properties instead of using downpipes. The east-facing front elevation is rendered with lined paint and features corbelled masonry eaves. The right bay is wider than the left. The main entrance is a modern six-panelled timber door with a small obscured glass over-light, alongside a small niche for a boot scraper at ground level. All windows on the facade are timber, vertically divided 2/2 sliding sashes with painted granite sills. There are two windows on the ground floor right, and three equally spaced on each upper floor. The second-floor windows are shorter and aligned with the ground floor openings; some ground-floor windows retain remnants of old security bars. The south gable forms a party wall with the adjacent property at number 48, while the north gable abuts a lower building at number 52 and has a section of cement render. The rear, or west-facing, elevation is also cement rendered and includes a single-story kitchen extension to the left. Modern timber and glass doors provide access to the rear, and all rear windows are 1/1 top-hung timber casements. A single window sits above the door between the ground and first floors, with another above between the first and second floors and a single window to the first and second floors. The kitchen extension is roofed with artificial slates and has cement rendered walls and modern windows. The rear yard includes a few small outhouses and leads to a small garden.

The area depicted on the 1835 Ordnance Survey map had been cleared by 1861; the current terrace was first recorded in the 1874 valuation revision book, indicating it was newly built, and occupied the following year. The property is located within a conservation area.
