Description

House in row of early C19 industrial workers cottages associated with the nearby collieries, situated just NW of the former Lucy Thomas dock on the Glamorganshire Canal. The early C19 OS maps show 2 parallel rows of cottages and the 1850 tithe map shows additional rows to the W. At this time the area was part of the estate of Thomas Thomas. By 1919 the W most of the 2 parallel rows had been demolished leaving Quay Row.

House in row of 4 fronting former canal. The 2-storey rubble stone row of houses has 4 double-fronted houses (Nos 2-5) and one halfwidth house on the end, formerly No 1 now part of No 2. As built Nos 2-5 had a plan form arranged around a centre passageway and rear staircase. Openings have stone voussoirs. Narrow depth, no outshut or lean-to to rear. The wholly rebuilt Nos 6-7 may once have been similar to Nos 2-5.

No 2 is whitewashed with slate roof, small red brick left end stack to former No 1 and red brick stack at left of former No 2. No 1 has a very small window to first floor left and a ground floor right window in stucco surround with C20 aluminium glazing. Rubble stone left end wall. The original No 2 has 2 narrow 4-pane sashes above 2 wider windows with C20 aluminium glazing and centre ledged door. All openings have stucco surrounds with minimal pediments, door surround with keystone.

Not inspected.
