History

Early C19 house, built as a pair with No 2, probably c. 1830. Part of the Orielton estate until the sale of 1857. They may be the two houses of lot 20 in the sale described as leased to Isaac Williamson 1831 and occupied in 1857 by Robert Lock, banker and solicitor and Miss Holcombe. Each had four bedrooms, two parlours, coal cellars and walled gardens. An old photograph shows the houses with plain stucco fronts.
