Built for quarrymen and their families after the acquisition of the Pen yr Orsedd slate quarries by W A Darbishire & Co. in 1863. The company was renowned for the interest it displayed in the welfare and living conditions of its workers.

Entrances, recessed to left and centre gables, flush to right gable. Nos.6-7 at the right-hand end of the terrace are heavily altered and are not included on this List.
