Statement of Interest

This building was built by 1824. The house was subdivided in 1981. The house was probably built at the same time as No 5, and they were possibly similar when first built. However alterations have been carried out, either to this, or to No 5, or both. According to Baird, Windsor Place was first opened in the early 19th century. It was built on land which had been used by Jameson for brick clay. This use of the land was discontinued in 1809; it was sold and "a large quantity if rubbish and earth was brought to level up the excavations." (P 435). This listing includes No 7B Windsor Place.
