Full Description
Built in 1766 by Dr Bernard Wilson, vicar of St Mary Magdalene and an extremely wealthy pluralist of questionable character. The west terrace … [has] one house breaking forward slightly at each end. The houses are being refurbished [in 1979], some without their chimneys, all without their shutters. (1)
…restored around 1980. Historically this was a tightly enclosed street with identical rows of terraced houses lining both the east and west sides. Most of the eastern terrace was demolished after 1968. Only the two ‘pavilion’ houses which marked either end of the former terrace survive on the eastern side of the street. The surviving western terrace is constructed in red brick, with a regular design and generally uniform height although the pavilion houses at each end are slightly taller. The houses front directly onto the pavement and take a relatively plain form with little in the way of decorative detail; rubbed brick window and door heads and brick string courses between each floor offer the only adornment. The central terraced house protrudes slightly forwards of the others and contains an arched doorway, taller than those to either side, presumably providing access to the rear gardens. (2)
