Notes:
3 bedroom house in the middle of a terrace. (number 7)
Note the newer (plastic!) windows, in contrast to the original sash
windows in the neighbouring house. The red brickwork is complemented
nicely by the yellow brick patterning. The doorway has a slight
alcove and a semi-circular arch. The roof is red-tiled but the roof
of the bay window has slate tiles instead.
Compare this some nearby houses built at around the same time.
Start with the smaller simpler house at Havelock
Street - which does not have the brick decoration, the porch,
the bay windows.
Then compare it with the slightly bigger house in Saint
Martin's Terrace, round the corner, with nice woodwork, and
the even larger house in Pretoria Road
- all built around the same time.
