Four houses in blue brick, built in the 1850s by Daniel Climie, the last for himself. The group terminates in the red-brick Masonic Arms pub. The colours are not accidental. "The terrace echoes the system of colour-coding he used for his railway stations between Shrewsbury and Crewe in which blue brick distinguished 'first class' establishments from the others in the cheaper red".
