This terrace dates from about 1845, and is a Category B Listed Building. The unusual lozenge glazing is said to have been made by a French prisoner of war, but this seems doubtful as the building postdates the end of the Napoleonic War by some 30 years. Fortunately the glazing has not been tampered with, so the building retains its unity ands symmetry.
