About the building

Late 18th or early 19th century. Fairly crude moulded ceiling in right hand room, an elegant staircase. An L-shaped garden with the high wall of the extension to the next door school.

The house was living accommodation for no 13 when that was a boys’ school. The windows of the long extension to no 13 look over the garden to no 15 and a high wall cuts across this garden, the rest of the building having been demolished as unsafe. The building was part of the school next door and in the corner is a rounded projection showing where a huge copper wash boiler once stood. (Mrs Stephens, resident)
