Nos.23-30 (Consecutive)
II
Council houses. Dated 1910 in a shield on No.29. Built to
designs by Charles E Clayton and Ernest Black; the plans dated
16 September, 1909. Brick in stretcher bond, pebble dash, mock
half timbering, and stone dressings. Gambrel roofs of tile;
porch roofs sheathed in lead. Arts and Crafts style.
EXTERIOR: Nos 23-26, and No.29 two storeys with gabled
dormers; Nos 27 and 30 two storeys with gabled bay extending
into roof. Scattered fenestration. The individual units are
designed to form an irregular and picturesque grouping by
simple variations on a common type; only No.27 is really
unique, forming a central point of emphasis. The other units
are assembled from a limited number of features and finishes.
All have a dado of brick, with pebble dash above interrupted
by stretches of half timbering which extends into gables. All
entrances and ground-floor windows are dressed with stone.
Round-arched entrances to Nos 23, 26, 27 and 30; chamfered
jambs and voussoirs; projecting keystone. Entrances framed by
stone brackets which support a plain flat canopy sheathed in
lead. Entrance to No.23A is flat arched with overlight. The
entrances to Nos 24 and 25 are entered through a broad, round
arch which springs from the brick base, its jambs and
voussoirs chamfered with run out stops; foyer glazed. Access
to Nos 28 and 29 also through a glazed foyer, but here flat
arched. To either side of entrances to Nos 23, 26, 27, and 30
is a triple window with chamfered mullions. To right of
entrance of Nos 28-29 is a double window with chamfered
mullions. First-floor windows have original wooden casements,
each light of 8 panes. Over the entrances of Nos 23, 26, 27,
and 30 is a double window with chamfered mullions; all the
other windows are triple with chamfered mullions. 2
first-floor windows of No.27 have hood moulding in the profile
of a Venetian window, tympanum filled with a stone inset
panel; wall above each rises into full dormers with triple,
flat-arched windows; gable kneelers, coping; the head
ornamented with quatrefoil stone inset. Party walls of Nos
27-30 expressed above roof and terminate in brackets just
below eaves. Facade to No.30 is symmetrical; above 2
first-floor triple casements are half-timbered, gabled dormers
with barge boards. Between Nos 28 and 29 is a round gable
which bears a shield inscribed with the date and the
Corporation's arms. The range formed by Nos 23-26 are more
informal, with half-timbering to full and half gables as well
as to some stretches of the first floor. No.26 has a small
dormer with a hipped roof. Downspouts are original. Stacks to
party walls.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Clayton and Black made 2 proposals for council houses on this
site. For the first, the architects proposed to convert a
group of early C19 terraced houses. These were demolished in
favour of a complete rebuilding.
