"Includes: No.1 LONSDALE STREET."
"Terrace of 7 houses, now shops and offices, some with storage accommodation above. Late 1820s or 1830s with later alterations. Flemish bond brickwork (partly with light headers) on calciferous sandstone plinth (all dressings of this material) with V-jointed quoins, sill bands and eaves cornice. Graduated greenslate roof, hipped on corner; original shared ridge brick chimney stacks. 3 storeys, 2 bays each, with a 2-bay return on Lonsdale Street, No.30 now unified as one office with No.1 Lonsdale Street. Double-depth plan. Central 3 and corner houses retain their cellar voids railed with C19 and C20 iron railings; stone steps to cellar doors. Central 3 houses retain their right panelled doors and patterned overlight in Tuscan doorcases with wreathed friezes, up steps. Nos 32 and 40 have the voids filled and C20 ground floor shop fronts. No.30 has 1920s angled doorway under carved coat of commercial arms and a window insertion. Upper floor windows are sashes, some with glazing bars and some casements, all in painted stone architraves. Smaller attic windows."
"INTERIORS: some retain panelled doors in wooden architraves and panelled internal shutters. Moulded plaster ceiling cornices in some principal rooms. Have similarities with the houses in The Crescent which are 1820s."
