Historical information
A block of five houses is shown on the 1834 Valuation town map (unfortunately their dimensions cannot be determined from the corresponding Valuation book). The fact that the same block only contained four houses on the 1861 map suggests a complete rebuild in the intervening period. The 1863 Valuation book describes the house as measuring 7.25yds x 9yds x 2.5 storeys (with a 1.75 storey return).
The Lawrence photograph shows this house in the later 19thC with a cast iron skylight to front roof pitch. All front windows are 8/8 sliding sashes and those on left gable are 4/2 sashes at ground floor and 6/6 sashes to upper floors. Walls look harled. All houses have railings on front dwarf wall.
