| Description | This uniform terrace of twelve small, through terraced houses was built c.1820, set back from the street and occupying a conspicuous position at the centre of Burley. They are built of squared coursed stone and have a thin purple slate roof, which probably replaced an earlier stone flagged roof. They are two storeys high, with two widely spaced windows flanking a central doorway to each house. The windows are sashes with glazing bars missing. There is a moulded wooden cornice running along the length of the terrace that has moulded brackets. There have also been glazed porches added to some of the houses.
No. 100 has a door of four moulded panels that is probably original. There is a passage between No. 96 and No. 98, with No. 98 having an extra right hand window to the first floor above the passage. No. 86 has been enlarged at the right end (English Heritage, 1976). The houses have a pantry at the foot of the stairs, and No. 92 and No. 102 have the word ‘Dairy’ painted over their little pantry windows, presumably a relic of the window tax period, which was in force from 1696 1851 (Caffyn, 1982). |
