Period
History
The terrace carries a datestone with the letters D E J and the date 1836; as it is named Victoria Terrace it was probably completed at about the time of the Queen's accession in 1837. The windows have a stylistic feature, diagonally crossed glazing bars in the heads of the window lights, found locally from about 1815. The initials appear to link these cottages with Rose Cottages nearby.
Exterior
Replaced door and windows partly in upvc but respecting the openings of the original joinery.
Interior
Reason for designation
An integral part of a terrace of early Victorian urban character, well preserved apart from some minor alterations of detail.
Group Description
Nos. 1-7 (consec) Victoria Terrace, with walled and railed forecourts
A terrace of seven three-storey cottages, in local handmade pale red brick, with slate roofs individually restored. The terrace consists of six designed as three pairs of alternately handed cottages, each pair served by a brick mid-chimney, plus a seventh probably contemporary cottage to the right on a slightly different front alignment, with its own smaller mid-chimney. The left gable wall is slate-hung. The right gable wall (of the additional cottage) is in brickwork. Window and door openings with flat arches in common brick; stone sills.
The rear elevation is in uncoursed stonework with much altered fenestration and modern single-storey rear extensions.
Small forecourt five steps up from street, with stone wall and iron railings.
