Terrace of 4 houses. 1870-80. Built by John Bellerby. Yellow
brick, with mottled red brick at rear, and with some stone
dressings. Slate roof.
EXTERIOR: symmetrical terrace of 2 storeys plus attic. Each
house has 3 main bays and has sashes without glazing bars,
with segmental arches which have keystones. A moulded string
course links the 1st floor window sills, and below there are 2
other interrupted string courses. At eaves level there is a
moulded cornice. No.140, at the left of the terrace, has a
wider left-hand bay which has a pair of windows on the ground
floor projecting forwards as a straight-sided bay window under
a slate roof. On the 1st floor there are 3 windows separated
by pilasters, the middle one wider. At attic level there is a
shaped gable with coping and ball finials, with blind recesses
to each side of a taller centre which has a pediment carried
on pilasters, and a round-headed window. The central bay has 2
first-floor windows above a doorway with a segmental pediment
carried by pilasters, flanking an architrave with semicircular
head. Above the door, which has 6 raised and fielded panels
with bolection mouldings, there is a semicircular overlight.
The right-hand bay has a brick canted bay window on the ground
floor, a pair of windows on the 1st floor, and a pedimented
brick attic dormer. No.138 mirrors No.140, except that the

match those of the 1st floor, and the shaped attic gable is
lower, with a central segmental pediment. Nos 136 and 134
