Appraisal
This terrace exhibits a well-designed and well-executed architecture, the well-proportioned façade is typical of mid nineteenth-century residential building for the burgeoning middle classes. Some early cast-iron railings survive to no.89, and the doorcase of no.89 is a reminder of the elegance and status of these houses at the time of construction. The simple form and pleasing proportions of this terrace make a positive contribution to the streetscape.
