Statement of Interest

B-Group with Numbers 13 and 14, 15 to 18, 19 and 20, 21 and 22, 23 and 24, 25 and 26 St Catherine's Place and 1 to 9 Cromwell Road. This row of houses forms the northern extremity of a small development on the eastern side of St Catherine's Place which was constructed as workers' houses by a farmer, Andrew Drever, in the early part of the 19th century. Rows of houses (listed separately) stand in the traditional manner with their gabled ends to the street with flagstoned closes between. Collectively they form a surviving group of some quality. They retain their crowstepped gables and substantial harled stacks and face a small internal courtyard to the south.
