          Description
              Between Alexandra Road and Coatsworth Road are two terraces facing each other across Bewick Road. The northern terrace was built in the 1860s and the southern terrace around 1885-90. Both terraces are two-storey with ground floor bay windows. The southern terrace is closer to the road and shows a much greater use and elaboration of stone in its bays, cornices, window surrounds, doorcases and string courses.
