History
Damory Street, called Damary Lane on Bastard's map of 1731, is situated on the northern fringes of the historic core of Blandford Forum. It appears to have had few buildings until the mid-C19, when groups of houses, including Nos. 5-35, were erected on the east side of the road. This area was developed in the main after the completion of the Dorset Central railway line and the opening of Blandford Station in 1863 when a new Victorian suburb was laid out around the station, on both sides of the railway tracks. Nos. 5-11 Damory Street date from the mid-C19 and since the mid-C20 have undergone some piecemeal alterations such as the erection of rear additions and the replacement of most windows and doors in modern materials.
