This elegant pair of early-mid 18thcentury<br />
houses, rare survivals in this<br />
locality, was virtually unrecognisable<br />
behind 19th-century shop extensions<br />
and ugly cement rendering. By 1990,<br />
the buildings were derelict and in<br />
major disrepair. Following the service<br />
of repairs and urgent works notices<br />
by <strong>English</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> in 1995-6, they<br />
were sold to the Toynbee Housing<br />
Association which, in association with<br />
Agenda 21 Architects, restored them<br />
in 2001 with <strong>English</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> grant aid.<br />
The brickwork had survived remarkably<br />
well beneath the render, enabling<br />
reinstatement of the façades to their<br />
original form.<br />
