3 Howe Street

Bodlondeb and 1-6 Howe Street, Glasinfryn.

A slate in the gable of this row carries the date of 1836. That this is likely to be the original building date is confirmed by the presence of the row on the Bangor Tithe Map of 1840. On this map, the terrace appears to be shown as a row of back-to back cottages, though by the time of the first edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1889, only the top house was so shown. The terrace was one of several such rows in the village, suggesting an unusual concentration of workers' housing for a small rural settlement: the presence of at least one textile factory in 1840 may account for this.

Terrace of 7 houses at right-angles to the road. The form of the row is distinctive, with the top house facing the road as a wide 2-unit gable-entry house, the others stepped down behind it, each single unit, double depth plan. This unusual arrangement may owe to the possible origins of the row as a back-to back terrace. Rubble construction, rendered to front and upper gable elevations, exposed to rear. Slate roofs and brick stacks. Top house has doorway to right of gable, and paired 6-pane sash windows on each floor. Slate dated slab towards gable apex, and stack parallel to ridge line. The houses behind each have doorway to left and a single window on each floor, mainly 4-pane sashes (with some 12-pane sashes surviving in rear elevation, and some replacement windows). Brick stacks at right angles to ridge line on the gable ends.

Belong to a group of 7.
