Terrace of 3 silk weavers' cottages, now in use as printing
works. Late C18 or early C19. Flemish bond brickwork with blue
headers and plain tiled roof.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys to front, 2 storeys to rear; 3-window
range, each cottage a single-room plan. Doorways originally to
left of 2 left-hand units, and to right in right-hand cottage,
but central doorway now blocked. Cambered brick heads to
doorways and windows. Lower windows have fixed lights, with
horizontally sliding sash or casement windows of 3 and 4
lights.
Attic storey windows have been reduced in size, and are now
2-light horizontally sliding sashes or casements; formerly
presumably long weavers' lights. Large inserted workshop
window in gable wall now partially blocked, suggesting that
cottages have had a long history of non-domestic use.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
The form a group with the adjacent southern terraced cottage
row (qv).
