SO8318NE WELLINGTON PARADE 844-1/9/373 (East side) 23/01/52 Nos.2-8 (Consecutive) and attached area railings
GV II
Terrace of seven houses. Completed 1814, later alterations. Brick with ashlar facade (painted to No.2 and partly replaced with render to No.6), slate roofs, brick stacks with chimney pots. Double-depth block with rear wings, originally designed as four houses, as No.2, but each of the three houses to the south subsequently divided into two houses at an early date. EXTERIOR: three storeys and basements with railed pavement areas and continuous parapet with stone coping; each of the original houses were designed to be five wide bays with an identical but blind bay masking the position of each party wall and at the south end of the terrace where another house may have been planned. Each of the original doorways are round-arched and has a recessed moulded timber frame with a semicircular, "batswing" pattern, metal fanlight above the lintel except the doorway to No.3 where the fanlight has been replaced by replica; on the ground floor all the windows and the window openings altered to doorways are inset in round-arched recesses; arched sashes with glazing bars, margin panes, and Gothic glazing in the upper sashes. Nos 4, 6 & 8 have entrance doorways formed in window openings; Nos 6 & 8 with slightly smaller fanlights of similar pattern to the original. The basement windows are recessed in openings with segmental arched heads and except where altered have sashes with glazing bars; on the first and second floors sashes with glazing bars (3x4 panes) in openings with projecting stone sills. INTERIOR: not inspected, but known to have retained most of original joinery and cornicing. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the basement areas are bridged with stone steps to the entrance doorway thresholds, and the areas and bridges have wrought-iron railings and gates with turned or twisted finials and iron finials to main standards. Although probably planned as four 5-bay houses, it is evident that they were completed as now, with Nos 3 to 8 alternating 3-bay and 2-bay houses with blind windows in front of alternate party walls and with narrower doors to Nos 6 & 8. The unfinished south gable indicates that a further house was planned.
