Description
An attractive row of Victorian terraced houses with a good history. A plaque commemorating artist Ralph Hedley is located on the house he once resided. One of his most famous paintings features a cat sitting in the window of one of the houses. This row of four storey terraces is picturesque, partly due to its variety of facades - some painted, some rendered, some brick – and their attractive front gardens complete with hedges and trees.
