Historical information
A building is shown on this plot on the 1834 OS 6” map, along with the rest of this terrace. Noted in the 1835 First Valuation as measuring 26ft x 17ft6in x 12ft6in. It is also noted as a one-and-a-half storey house on the 1861 Second valuation. Its valuation at that time was £11, but this increases to £20 in 1873, suggesting a major (upwards) extension or complete rebuild in its present form.
