Nos 99 & 100 are of old red brick. C20 red brick chimney on
right end wall of No.104.
2 storeys with garrets (probably inserted later) at Nos 99,

a mid C19 canted wood bay; lights have rounded top corners,
2-paned sashes with a horizontal glazing bar, the middle light
also with margin-panes; bracketed top cornice with fluting
