Description

Eldon Row is a three-storey terrace of six houses, built in 1830. The houses are constructed of coursed squared rubble with steeply pitched slate roofs, close verges, and a cavetto eaves cornice. Six stone stacks, water tabling detail, are present. The terrace commemorates the anniversary of the Venerable Earl's birthday and the respect for Sir R W V, as marked by a commemorative slate tablet centrally located on the terrace.

The architectural style features shallow upper sash windows. The left-hand windows on the second floor have six panes and are set under the eaves. Vertical glazing bars are slightly thicker, creating a tripartite appearance. Similar windows with twenty panes are found on the first floor. All windows have stone sills and are topped with deep stone lintels. A continuous sill band runs across the front of the terrace, broken only over number 3. Later glazing bars are present on the windows of number 6 at the far right of the terrace.

Number 4 retains a largely original shopfront, featuring a central window, a plain entablature, fielded panelled pilasters, stone stallrisers, and a modern 20-pane window. Sunk panelled doorcases flank the window on either side; the left side features a rectangular fanlight with lattice glazing above a six-panel door with panelled internal splays, and the right side a modern glazed door under a plain rectangular fanlight. Stone steps lead down to the street.

Number 2 shares similar pilasters but has a later 19th-century butcher's shop window with a moulded cornice, a blind box, tiled stallrisers, a plain rectangular fanlight above the doorways, and six flush panel doors with panelled internal splays. Numbers 1 and 3 have been altered with broad modern shopfronts. Number 5 retains its original layout, with modern fittings; a six-panelled door survives on the left.

A window is positioned centrally on number 6, above a cellar opening, alongside a doorway and a more modern door. A former doorway has been converted into a window on the right side, with visible shutter pintles. The first floor sill band extends across the north gable end.
