Description
Nos. 1-14 Collins Row form an early 19th century terrace of ironworkers' houses in a classical style, similar to the nearby Middle and Lower Rows. The symmetrical arrangement of the terrace has been disrupted by the demolition of Nos. 15 and 16. The original layout featured projecting bays at each end and in the centre, with recessed bays between them. Nos. 1 and 2, and the central bays housing Nos. 7-10 all project forward. The houses, except for the central block, have a single window range and a door. The central four houses are arranged in pairs, sharing a three-window range (with the centre window blocked on each pair) and having doorways on the outer sides. The houses are constructed of roughly coursed stone rubble with shallow-pitched hipped roofs covered in stone slates. The central range has a separate hipped roof, and the ridge is marked by substantial stacks, many of which are shared. Deep, overhanging boarded eaves are a prominent feature. Windows are horned sashes without glazing bars and have yellow brick sills. The original boarded doors, mostly recessed, include glazed panels. Openings are topped with slightly cambered heads featuring rough voussoirs; some have iron lintels visible within the surrounds.
Nos. 1 and 2 project strongly at the northeast (left) end. The door to No. 2 is on the left-hand side, while the door to No. 1 is in the northeast return, creating a double-fronted appearance to the first bay. Nos. 3-6 are recessed, with a door to the left of No. 3 and doors to the right of Nos. 4-6. Nos. 7-10 form the projecting three-storey central block. Nos. 11-14 are recessed, mirroring the arrangement of Nos. 3-6, with doors to the left of Nos. 11 and 12 and to the right of Nos. 13 and 14. Nos. 15 and 16 were originally converted into a Board School in the 19th century but have since been demolished. Outbuildings and walled gardens are located at the rear of the properties. The original interior layout consisted of two rooms on each floor, with double depths, a fireplace in each room, and a spiral staircase positioned alongside.
