Place & story

Similar fronts, different roofs

The two houses at Imaal View are dated to about 1840 by the architectural inventory. Both have arched entrances with decorative stone surrounds and fanlights divided by Y-shaped tracery. Their sash windows also follow the same arrangement. Above these similar fronts, the roofs differ: number1 has a double-pile pitched roof, while number2 has a hipped roof. In 2003 the survey also recorded remnants of a communal water pump on the pavement in front of number1. [2] [3]
