Exterior
Terrace of 2 and 3 storey early C19 ironworkers’ houses in classical style, similar to terraces of Middle and Lower Rows, but whose symmetry is now incomplete due to demolition of Nos.15 and 16. Original plan has the two outer bays and central 3-storey bay all projecting with recessed bays between. Thus from NE (left) end, Nos.1 and 2, and centre bay, Nos.7, 8, 9, 10 all project. Each house except the central range has a single window range and door; the central 4 houses are in pairs, each pair share a 3 window range (centre windows blocked in each case) with outer doorways. Built of roughly coursed stone rubble with shallow pitched hipped roofs of stone slates, separate hipped roof to the central range, chunky ridge stacks mostly shared; very deep overhanging boarded eaves. Windows are horned sashes without glazing bars, yellow brick sills. Boarded doors, mostly recessed, have a glazed panel. Openings have slighly cambered heads with rough voussoirs, some with iron lintels showing, and surrounds.
Nos.1 and 2 at NE (left) end project; door to No.2 is to left; door to No.1 is in NE return giving a double-fronted appearance to the first bay, 1 stack. Nos.3, 4, 5, 6 are recessed: No.3 has door to left and Nos.4, 5 and 6 has doors to right, 3 stacks. Nos.7, 8, 9,10 comprise the projecting 3 storey centre block, 2 stacks. Nos.11,12,13,14 are recessed matching Nos.3,4,5,6: doors in Nos.11 and 12 to left; doors in Nos.13 and 14 to right, 3 stacks. Nos.15 and 16 were converted in C19 to form a Board School but have now been demolished. Outshuts and walled gardens to rear.
