Second quarter of C19.   Brick,  part rendered,  the ground floor stuccoed throughout.   Welsh slate roofs.   All houses have rear wings (with end stacks);  ridge stacks to main range.   2 storeys.   Front:   designed as a set piece; symmetrical 4:1:4, the centre house standing forward under a pedimented gable with a flowing trefoil window to gable wall, and the name of the terrace contained within 2 moulded string courses to either side.   All houses with 2 1st floor windows under flat arches, plate-glass sashes with margin panes set in reveals.  Coped parapet with cornice band.  Projecting moulded 1st floor cornice; ground floor of each house with 3 round-headed arches linked by moulded impost band, 2 with hornless sashes (the upper round-headed) with margin panes, the 3rd with fielded panel door under fanlight; paired panelled pilasters;  these arches create a continuous rhythm along the entire front.  The row is remarkably intact with the exception of No 157 which has a c.1900 shop  front  (fascia with console brackets)  with plate-glass windows but is otherwise as described above (although lacking a cornice band).
