overlights; rubbed brick arches to surrounds have pointed
heads in North Italian Gothic shape; similar arches over
renewed windows with projecting stone sills. Moulded brick
eaves cornice with brick gutter brackets except where removed
from Nos 3, 4 and 19, which may have been extensively rebuilt.
Low pitched roofs have square corniced chimney-stacks between
each pair of houses. No.13 has canted dormer of late C19

pebble-dashed render to Nos 5, 7, 9, 14, 15 and 18; painted

one-storey tradition, as opposed to the 2-storey Tyneside
flats in the Tyneside area.
