Description
This building is a terrace of five single-storey almshouse dwellings, constructed from painted brick with a slate roof. Each unit features two windows, which are 12-pane cast-iron casements with Gothick intersecting pointed heads, positioned on either side of the entrances. The doors are likely from 1979. The chimneys are located in the front wall and are shared, with one chimney serving two units. The original two-unit plan has been extended, and there is a new opening to the extension at the rear. The corner fireplaces have been blocked, and the doors and fittings are probably from 1979 as well.
