Appraisal
An attractive pair most likely built for workers from the woollen mills located nearby, which is an important reminder of the industrial heritage and commercial development of the area. Together with the mill complex and several other terraces of houses in the area, these buildings form an attractive group that is recognisable by its use of red and yellow brick, and which contributes much to the character of the area.
