Pair of semi-detached council houses. c.1922. Designed by Arthur Wakerley.

All windows have glazing bars under composite lintels. Rendered gable and side gables. Low single storey returns under catslide roofs with single off-centre recessed doorways.
This pair of workers houses is one of only 4 pairs, designed by Arthur Wakerley, which survive un-altered in Leicester. The others are; Nos 17 & 19, Dore Road (qv), Nos 18 & 20, Linton Street (qv), and Nos 59 & 61, Dunster Street (qv). Arthur Wakerley (1862-1931) designed the £299 house in 1922 as a response to the need for economic and well designed houses for workers after the Great War, the much discussed Homes for Heroes. He was an influential local politician, architect, developer, philanthropist and Chair of Leicester's first Housing and Town Planning Committee in the 1920's.
