1 Waterloo Place

Nos 1-4 Waterloo Place are a group of local ashlar buildings with a slate roof and brick axial stacks, dating from the 19th century. The structure is two storeys high and features an eight-window range, consisting of two houses on either side of a central passageway. The layout is symmetrical, with two-unit houses at each end, one of which includes a shop, and single-unit houses in the center, their doorways located on either side of the round-arched passage entry.

The doorways throughout have six-panelled doors with overlights, framed by moulded architraves and cornice hoods. The windows are 16-pane sash types with painted sills, and there are blind windows above the doors of the outer premises. The shop in the right-hand unit features a two-light mid-19th century shop window with small panes and a moulded architrave.

The return elevation facing Salop Road is also two storeys high and has a nine-window range, comprising three houses and a shop front, which continues from the shop in Waterloo Place. This elevation is made of brick and has full-height pilasters beside the doorways. The hipped slate roof has end wall stacks and oversailing eaves. The continuation of the shop to the left of the terrace includes a doorway flanked by late 19th-century shop windows on the ground floor, with 16-pane sash windows above that have painted gauged brick heads. Each of the houses, Nos 1-3, has a central entrance flanked by two-pane sash windows on each floor. No 3 retains its original six-panelled door, and all entrances feature panelled architraves.
