Appraisal
This attractive terrace was built by a local builder Bill O'Donnell in 1937 and was let to tenants by the builder, who occupied house 8. Much of the original character has been retained in the timber sliding sash windows, half-glazed timber doors and rendered piers with cast-iron gates. The terrace makes an interesting part of the overall townscape.
