SD5229 WELLINGTON STREET 941-1/6/279 (South West side) Nos.67-93 (Odd) Wellington Terrace

GV II

Terrace of 14 town houses. c.1850; altered. Red brick in Flemish bond (No.73 now painted), with sandstone dressings and slate roof. Double-depth plan, each house single-fronted. Three storeys over basements, a 26-window range, Nos 85 and 87 breaking forwards slightly, with a corner pilaster to the left, a 1st-floor sill-band (stepped down slightly between Nos 87 and 89), plain frieze and moulded cornice with blocking course. Each house has a basement area protected by spear-headed railings with a gate and crossed by a bridge of 4 steps to the right, a basement door beneath the steps and front door above, the latter with a moulded surround and cornice on consoles, and a panelled door with overlight; one window at ground floor with raised sill and wedge lintel, 2 similar windows at 1st floor, most of these windows sashed but altered glazing at Nos 67, 69, 71, 73, 85 and 87, and one low window at 2nd floor with raised sill (mostly 6-pane sashes but some altered). To the right of No.91 is a continuation with 2 windows at ground floor and coupled windows on each floor above (belonging to No.93, which has the entrance in a later addition to the right). Chimneys on front slope of roof. Rear: basements at ground level. INTERIOR: former kitchens and service rooms in basements. Good example of early Victorian terraced town houses, facing street which still has original boulder-cobbled surface and flagged pavements, and forming group with former Church of St Mark opposite (q.v.).
