History
 

Exterior
No 5 is plain rubble stone with concrete tiles, no chimneys, and 2 windows each floor and centre door in thin stucco surrounds with uPVC windows and door.  

Interior
Not inspected.  

Reason for designation
Included despite alterations as one of the best surviving groups of early industrial workers' housing in the region.  

Group Description
House in row of early C19 industrial workers cottages associated with the nearby collieries, situated just NW of the former Lucy Thomas dock on the Glamorganshire Canal. The early C19 OS maps show 2 parallel rows of cottages and the 1850 tithe map shows additional rows to the W. At this time the area was part of the estate of Thomas Thomas. By 1919 the W most of the 2 parallel rows had been demolished leaving Quay Row. House in row of 4 fronting former canal. The 2-storey rubble stone row of houses has 4 double-fronted houses (Nos 2-5) and one halfwidth house on the end, formerly No 1 now part of No 2. As built Nos 2-5 had a plan form arranged around a centre passageway and rear staircase. Openings have stone voussoirs. Narrow depth, no outshut or lean-to to rear. The wholly rebuilt Nos 6-7 may once have been similar to Nos 2-5.
