Historical information
A building is shown on this site on the OS maps of 1834 and that of 1858, which matches the plan of that demolished in recent years. The building(s) appears to have been under rateable value at the time of the first valuation (c.1835) and contained dwellings at the time of the second valuation (1863), also below rateable value. The terrace appears to have been demolished c.1980s.
