Eight houses, now offices. Before 1811. Sandstone ashlar. Nos. 13, 16 and 19 have roofs of graduated Lakeland slate, others in Welsh slate. Brick chimneys. Six-panelled doors with fanlights in classical doorcases. Sash windows. Pevsner - the focus of the nineteenth century developments in North Shields. A square almost too spacious for the two-storeyed houses on its three sides. The best side is the north, all of c.1810, in good ashlar with original Lakeland slate roofing on Nos. 13, 16 and 19. The central three bays and each end pair project slightly, the latter in bows. Each projection has quoins and a coped blocking course. Houses vary in size from three to five bays. The doorway to No. 17 encloses two doors. The doorcases are classical, with open pediments on columns. The west side of the square is Victorian, the east mostly simple early C19. The leitmotif is doorways with Tuscan pilasters and heavy straight entablature. This motif is seen in many streets in North Shields (e.g. Camden Street, Stephenson Street, Howard Street) {2}. Traditional door knobs, letter boxes and footscrapers survive at Nos. 19-20. No. 20 has particularly attractive with elegant double-height bow windows, which emphasise these end-of-terrace houses and are typical of the graceful late Georgian style. No. 18 has an elegant ground floor bow window at the rear, in stone, which would have originally faced onto the gardens to the north. No. 18 has large stairwell windows with intricate glazing bars {3}.
