Flat door hoods on shaped brackets. No 14 at the lower end of the slope contains almshouses founded in 1794 for 4-widows. It is now 2 dwellings with a common entrance door and projects a little in advance of the N (uphill) block. The lower windows of No 14 are 2-light small paned cast iron casements. 4-panel flush beaded door with flat hood on shaped brackets with guttae at the springing.
