GV II

Terraced houses. 1848. Developed by James and Thomas Ward, and possibly designed by Samuel Angell, Surveyor to the Clothworkers' Company. Grey brick set in Flemish bond, stucco, roofs of Welsh and artificial slate. The houses form a symmetrical group between Cruden Street and Raleigh Street with the entrance bays recessed and paired, and the window bays to the inner houses (nos 9-19) also paired, so that the group reads as three principal two-bay blocks with single-bay wings at the ends. Steps up to flat-arched porch with pilaster jambs carrying entablature; recessed flat-arched entrance with moulded architrave and studded and panelled doors except to no 9. Window bays flanked by giant pilasters carrying entablature. All windows flat-arched, those in the window bay unusually broad with stucco architraves and cornice to ground floor. Most windows have sashes of unusual pattern with margin lights. Moulded stucco eaves cornice; dormers in roof. Antefixae fronting party walls which project above the roof and carry stacks. Unusually ornate area railings with castellated standards and palmette finials. (Historians' file, English Heritage London Division).
