Description
Eldon Row is a three-storey terrace consisting of five houses, featuring two windows for most and one window for the end house. The structure is built from coursed squared rubble and topped with steeply pitched slate roofs that have close verges and a cavetto eaves cornice. There are six stone stacks and water tabling present.
The second-floor windows have shallow upper sashes with 16 panes, set under the eaves. The first and third vertical glazing bars are slightly thicker, creating a tripartite effect. These windows have stone sills. The first floor features similar 20-pane windows with deep stone lintels, and there is a continuous sill band that is broken over number 3. The windows of number 6, located at the extreme right of the terrace, have later glazing bars.
Number 4 has a largely original shopfront with a central shop window, a plain entablature, fielded panelled pilasters, and stone stall risers, though it includes a modern 20-pane window. Flanking the shop window are sunk panelled doorcases, with a rectangular fanlight featuring lattice glazing above a six flush panel door on the left. The right side has a modern glazed door under a plain rectangular fanlight, and there are stone steps leading down to the street.
Number 2 has similar pilasters and a later 19th-century butcher's shop window, complete with a moulded cornice, blind box, and tiled stall risers. The doorways have plain rectangular fanlights and six flush panel doors, with panelled internal splays. Numbers 1 and 3 feature broad modern shopfronts, while number 5 retains its original layout but has modern fittings, although a six flush panelled door survives on the left.
Number 6 has a window above a cellar opening, with a doorway to the left that has a modern door. A former doorway to the right has been converted into a window, with shutter pintles still visible.
A commemorative slate tablet located at the centre of the terrace reads: "AD 1830. ELDON ROW. The first stone of this building was laid on the anniversary of the Ven'able Earl's Birthday to mark respect for him. Sir R W V." The first-floor sill band extends across the north gable end.
