Notes:
Largish family house, terraced. Almost opposite the Pretoria
Road example.
Built in around 1900 for the prison officers (the Canterbury prison,
built in the early 1800s, is just behind it).
In Scoffham's book (see bibliography)
he refers to this terrace, describing the 'bay windows, slate roofs
and mock Tudor gables' as representing 'a peculiarly English combination
of traditional and Gothic styles ... common towards the turn of
the century'.
