Pair of houses, now one, built after 1865 as part of the lead-mining community of New Brighton for which 24 plots were sold by the Chester Charities in 1865. This part of Minera parish known as 'City Lands' was beqeathed by Owen Jones (d1659), a butcher of Chester, to 'the poor of every Company of Merchants and Craftsmen in the City of Chester'. The area was agricultural until the mid-C18 when a trustee of the charity, Alderman Richardson, promoted lead prospecting. It was so successful that between 1761 and 1781 some £13,000 were paid to the charity in royalties.
Pair of semi-detached houses now one. Rubble stone with squared stone quoins, slate roof and brick end stacks. Each house two storeys, double-fronted. Windows are 16-pane hornless sashes with tooled stone sills and lintels. Four panel doors. Ground floor windows and doors have large shaped stone lintels.
Listed as a well-preserved example of a pair of later C19 semi-detached houses connected with the Minera lead mines, historically important with others in this industrial settlement pattern.
