Roker
Description
Victorian terrace. The first terrace to be built at Roker in the 1840s. Extended southwards along the seafront by the mid 1890s. Substantial properties built for seaside uses. Many are 4 storeys and are of greater width, such as the Roker Hotel. Many of the properties have been inappropriately altered and their frontages bear little resemblance to their original form. Many buildings have been rendered or painted, which adds weather protection for exposed seafront building frontages but can be damaging to the underlying brick if applied incorrectly or if a poor choice of material is used (cement). Roofs are mostly Welsh slate. No. 14 is listed grade 2 (HER 4799). Roker Terrace was designed in part by John Dobson for the Abbs familt who owned much of land around Roker. Due to the exposed seafront location original timber features are at threat. The properties have a distinctive front boundary wall and long narrow rear gardens. At the rear of the gardens, facing the back lane are a number of former coach houses, now converted to houses.

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.
