Description

Nos. 1-6 (consec) Forge Row. A terrace of industrial housing set against a hillside above the road. The houses in Forge Row have colour-washed stone rubble external walls with plinth and small eaves courses and a gabled roof of random stone slates laid in diminishing courses. Two storeys with a single depth plan. Each house originally with a western elevation of one window bay and doorway each, but now each with two windows and two doors; small paned casement windows of 2-lights, upper windows with flat heads at eaves level, lower windows and doorways with cambered heads. Stone stacks.

Stone stacks.

Interiors not inspected at time of resurvey (January 1997) but it is reported that originally each floor had two very small rooms with internal walls probably framed in timber; stone flagged floors; thin soft wood ground floor ceiling joists with small chamfers. Staircases against front walls. Back doors. The cottages were doubled in size when converted in 1987-8 and the interiors now date almost entirely from then, but the staircases are said to survive.
