Statement of Interest

B-Group with Numbers 9 to 12, 13 and 14, 19 and 20, 21 and 22, 23 and 24, 25 and 26 St Catherine's Plcace and 1 to 9 Cromwell Road. This row of houses forms part of a small development on the eastern side of St Catherine's Place, constructed as workers' houses by a farmer, Andrew Drever, in the early part of the 19th century. Rows of houses (listed separately) stand in the traditional manner with their gabled ends to the street with flagstoned closes between. Collectively they form a surviving group of some quality. They retain their crowstepped gables and Number 15 retinas its original traditional stone tiled roof; those on Numbers 17 and 18 have been sensitively replaced.
