An early example of Strutt back-to-back housing. Houses were being built here
in 1790. Originally 29 back-to-back houses known as Berkin's Court. Apart
from the intact back-to-back plan of Nos 9 and l0 they have been converted
to single dwellings. Three storey coursed sandstone terrace. Nos 1 to 3 with
steeper pitch, later C19, blue tiled roof; original slate roof to rest. Brick
chimney stacks on ridge. Narrow windows, the majority with late C19 sashes,
2-light casements to top floor; deeply tooled ashlar lintels. The west elevation
retains a few original small paned sashes. On this front, lean-to sculleries
have been added, probably in the mid C19, to the ground floor. Plain doorways
with slightly cambered stone voussoir arches. Stone rubble east front garden
walls are ramped up by the doorways.
