Statement of Interest

Wood's map is unclear as to the length of the terrace of which these houses are a part. It would appear that it terminated at that time at No 14. However the Sassines say that the houses were built in 1814. The stonework of No 18 is in poor condition. The houses have been listed due to their contribution within the terrace as a whole.
