TIVERTON

SS9512 BRIDGE BUILDINGS, Tiverton 848-1/6/139 Nos.1-4 (Consecutive) including area railing and gates on north, south and west sides

GV II

Terrace of 4 houses in a detached range immediately south of Heathcoat's factory, on the opposite side of the leat. Probably built in the early-to-mid C19 (before 1841). MATERIALS: solid, rendered walls. Slated roofs, that of the main range hipped. Red brick chimneys on party and end walls of main range. Chimney at west end (facing Leat Street) is arranged as 3 free-standing shafts linked at the top, while that at the east end (which differs from the rest in being square) has a narrow recessed panel on each side creating a similar effect. All the chimneys have caps with projecting brick courses forming entablatures; each has a set of uniform 6-sided pots, 6 on the end walls and 8 on the party walls, except that those between Nos 1 & 2 and 2 & 3, have one louvred pot. Irregular red brick chimneys on rear closet wings at Nos 1-3. PLAN: single-fronted, double-depth, with rear closet wings of varying size. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; closet wings, single-storey. 2-window fronts with doorways to right of ground storeys. C20 flush wooden doors with older cast-iron knockers; original fanlights with radial glazing bars at Nos 1-3. Sash windows, 8-paned in ground and third storeys, 6-paned in second storey. Moulded board below the eaves, carried round on to blank wall at west end. Rear wall (visible from Leat Street and the factory forecourt) is similar to the front, except that the windows are segmental-headed and all have 8-paned sashes; between Nos 3 & 4, in the second and third storeys, are 2 smaller 4-paned windows. INTERIOR: not inspected. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: area railing at the front (west of the terrace), along Leat Street, and adjoining the leat at the end of the back gardens, is of cast-iron with fleurs-de-lys finials to the uprights; pair of matching gates at north end of Leat Street railing. A similar railing extends along the west side of the road into the factory. HISTORY: the terrace is shown as Heathcoat property in the estate atlas of 1844 and was fully occupied at the time of the 1841 census. The tenants then were an overseer (silk and cotton), a machinist, an iron founder and a 50-year old man of independent means. The borough rate book for 1836 shows 3 Heathcoat houses of equal rateable value `over water', between the factory and Rossiter's Mill. The latter lay immediately south of the terrace, behind Nos 20-26 (even) West Exe North, and it seems likely that the 3 houses were part of Bridge Terrace. One of the ratepayers, George Skinner, also appears in the terrace in the 1841 census. Heathcoat may not have built the terrace himself, since it lacks the cast-iron window sills characteristic of his houses. The wooden glazing bars in the windows and fanlights are an important part of the design of this simple building.
