Appraisal
These terraces retain much of their early form and character, and fabric including timber sash windows, timber doorcases and cast-iron railings. Subtle brick detailing provides decorative interest and adds coherence to the streetscape as it was used in neighbouring terraces. The front gardens to the west terrace remain intact, contributing to the early suburban character of the street. A dairy was listed at no.17 in early street directories, indicating a shop supplying dairy products, and there is evidence of the remnants of a shopfront to the front elevation.
