          Description
              Some of the properties were built by the the mid 1890s. The street was finished by 1905. Rough reddish-brown brick. These grand properties display carved timber details and are more substantial than later terraces. Each terrace is slightly different from the next in terms of the elegant stone detailing around the doors and windows. One particularly fine Edwardian terrace has fine terracotta work around the entrances.
