GV II

Nine terrace houses. C.1830. Possibly by John Pinch the Elder.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, concrete tile roofs.
EXTERIOR: Steeply stepped row of single depth houses of three storeys, each with a two window front, varied sashes. No.3 has all twelve-pane. No.4 has sixteen-pane at second and ground floor with twelve at first floor. Nos 5 and 7 have four-pane, and remainder are plain sash. No.8 has complete aluminium replacements, including door. No.11 also has, to ground floor, a large late Victorian mullioned bay window with pierced balustrade to ground floor. Nos 6 and 7 have decorative iron balustrade to first floor. Nos 9 and 10 have rail to one first floor window each. Doors are generally six-panel, with some glazing. Each has lintel, frieze, and cornice above first floor, and cornice, blocking course and parapet to second floor, suggesting that buildings may have been raised one storey, although this does not read in masonry. Ashlar stack to each coped party division, left, but larger shared stack to Nos 10 and 11. Rear, also in ashlar, to eaves roof, with various sashes, and Nos 6-11 have large centred sixteen-pane at second floor. Right hand return plain.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Each house has spearhead railing on curb, returned at party divisions, with simple gates, but decorative cast iron gate to No.6. The uppermost houses are set behind their front gardens and are reached via a path.
INTERIORS: Not inspected.
HISTORY: Probably built in the wake of Prior Park Buildings of c.1825; the row does not appear on Prior Park estate map of 1828, however.
