7/29 Eight detached houses
forming the children's
homes at the Harris
Orphanage (formerly
listed with "The Harris
Children's Home")
15.1.1985
GV II
Eight houses built in rows of 4 north and south of a green, as "village
homes" for the Harris Orphanage, 1885-88, by Benjamin Sykes of Garlick,
Park, and Sykes, for trustees of E.R. Harris. Accrington red brick with
bands and dressings of sandstone, slate roofs with red ridging tiles.
Slightly varied in plan and form, but all like conventional suburban middle
class semi-detached houses of the period, in Vernacular Revival style, with
decorated gables (some of applied timber, others of diaper and similar
patterns of projecting headers), large wooden mullion and transom windows,
some in canted bays, some in hipped gableted dormers (and some with altered
glazing), and tall Tudor-style chimneys. Not the first, but nevertheless a
good and fairly early example of the family-unit system for such
institutions, in sharp contrast to the classification system of the New
Poor Law, applied less than 20 years earlier at the Preston Union
Workhouse, Watling Street Road (q.v.).
