History
Terrace house of c1830-40, part of an extensive curved terrace fronting onto the turnpike road to Holyhead. The terrace appears to have been built in connection with Telford's road to Holyhead, to an urban scale remarkable in what was primarily a slate-quarrying settlement. In poor condition 1996.

Slate sills. Upper floor windows have stucco hoodmoulds. Ground floor boarded-over (1996) but appears to have centre tripartite sash (as on No 8) and door with overlight to right.

One of several of houses that retain original character in a fine late Georgian curved terrace of unusual scale.
