Terraced houses. c.1840. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, stucco, roofs of Welsh and artificial slate so far as visible. Three and four storeys over basement, two windows each. Basement and ground floor stuccoed, the ground floor decorated with banded rustication. Round-arched entrance with pilaster jambs, fanlight (blank on nos. 28-54), and panelled doors of original design except to nos 18 and 54. Ground-floor windows round-arched; stucco terminates at first-floor sill band. Upper windows flat-arched with gauged brick heads and iron balconies to first floor; sashes of original design, including radiating glazing bars to ground floor, to nos 12-18, 20 (ground and first floor), 22-32, 34 (ground and first floor), 36 (ground floor), 38, 40 (ground floor), 42-48, 50 (ground and first floors), 52, 54 (ground and first floors). Plain parapets, with a good deal of rebuilding, except that nos 24-30 have brick dentil cornice, 32 stucco cornice with decorative lead flashing, 42 late C20 modified stucco cornice. Mansard roofs to nos 14 (with one segmental-arched dormer), 16 (two dormers), 20 (two dormers), 26 (two dormers), 28 (one dormer), 30 (one round-arched dormer), 34 (one dormer), 38 (one dormer), 40-42, 46 and 50 (two dormers each). No 36 has a roof extension, and no 52 has one round-arched dormer. Cast-iron railings to area. The rear elevations have flat-roofed extensions to the basement and ground floor, looking out over the Regent's Canal: the original design was probably two openings with four-centred arches at basement level, two flat-arched windows above with 6/6 sashes having pointed arches in the upper sash, and an embattled parapet. Almost all the houses have some of these features and nos 22-4, 28-30 and 50 have them all. (Eric Willatts: Streets with a story. The book of Islington: London: 1986-).
