All openings have flat arched stone voussoir heads.
The L gable end of No 8 is rendered where an attached house has been taken down, and has an attached coped stone wall flanking a gateway to a car park behind. At the rear are doorways with shallow segmental heads to the inner sides, each with replaced boarded doors. No 6 is otherwise blank at the back. No 8 has inserted 4-pane sash windows in each storey.
