These two fine town houses would have been on the south-western edge of the city when they were built; the prevailing wind would have blown the smoke and grime of industrial Birmingham away from them. Both are listed buildings. The official listings suggest a date of 1800-10 for the nearer house, with stucco added later, and c1820 for the further house without rendering on its brickwork. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1075568 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1075566?section=official-list-entry
