Description
This is a terrace of early 19th century ironworkers' houses, similar in style to other terraces in the area, consisting of numbers 1 to 13 Middle Row and the attached Windsor Arms public house. The terrace is arranged with two and three storey houses, with a prominent central three-storey bay projecting beyond the recessed bays between. From the southwestern end, the left bay accommodates numbers 1 and 2, the central bay houses numbers 7, 8, 8a, and 9, and the right bay contains the Windsor Arms public house, all of which project forward. Houses, excluding the central range and the public house, have a single window range and a front door. The central houses are arranged in pairs, each pair sharing a three-window range (with the central windows blocked) and featuring outer doorways; a configuration seen at numbers 7 to 9. The overall plan is very nearly symmetrical across all three terraces.
The houses are constructed of roughly coursed stone rubble and have shallow-pitched hipped roofs covered in stone slates. A separate hipped roof covers the central range, with chunky ridge stacks, many of which are shared between adjacent houses. The eaves project and are boarded. Windows are horned sash windows without glazing bars, featuring yellow brick sills. The recessed and slightly cambered doorways have boarded doors, mostly recessed and with a glazed panel. Some doorways have iron lintels, with rough voussoirs and surrounds.
Numbers 1 and 2 project with a door to the left and one stack. Numbers 3 to 6 are recessed, with doors to the left for numbers 3 and 4 and doors to the right for numbers 5 and 6; three stacks are present. Numbers 7 to 9, the three-storey central bay, project with two broad stacks, and one un-numbered doorway, which is actually number 8a. Numbers 10 to 13 are recessed, with doors to the left for numbers 10, 11, and 12, and a door to the right for number 13; four stacks are present. The Windsor Arms public house also projects, incorporating a three-window range on each floor and a central doorway, with no visible stacks. Outshuts and walled gardens are located to the rear.
The original interior plan comprised two rooms on each floor, with double depths, fireplaces in each room, and a spiral staircase.
