This terrace on the north side of Eastgate is formed by nos.175-189 Eastgate and dates to the early 19th century. It has a date stone of 1818 in its western gable. It is mainly built in red brick and originally had a pantile roof. The terrace is of plain character and appearance originally with a ‘two up two down’ plan and built as worker’s cottages with small yards and outbuildings to the rear. Each dwelling of the terrace has an entrance doorway to the right of a single ground-floor window with the single first-floor window immediately above its ground floor counterpart. At the west end of the terrace, however, the two end dwellings are a mirror pair with doorways to the left and right respectively of paired windows between the two door openings. The ground floor windows are vertical sashes while the upper-floor windows are horizontal sash windows with their heads almost at eaves level and set beneath a dentilled eaves course. At the east end of the terrace is an arch-headed, passage entrance giving access to the rear doorways and the small rear yards. In the mid to late 19th century, a post office was established in no.181, and its interior was consequently altered. To the left of the window of the former post office is a small 19th century wall postbox with an enamel sign which reads 'V.R. POST OFFICE LETTER BOX'. The rear elevation of the terrace has a similar pattern of openings to that at the front, but the window frames are mainly horizontal sashes set beneath shallow brick segmental arches. The doorways have plank doors, also set beneath shallow brick-arched heads. The roof structure is of single purlin form, with dovetailed collar beams at intervals throughout the terrace. Most of the houses in the terrace have 20th century interior finishes and fittings, and mostly the ground-floor hearths and doors have been replaced. A small number of first-floor hob grates survive, some concealed by later over-boarding. Some vertically-planked doors survive and there are fitted cupboards to the side of some of the hearths, but mostly with replacement plank or panelled doors. The stairs are of simple design with plain risers. When assessed for listing, in 2012, the terrace was not considered to be of nationally significant architectural or historic interest but English Heritage noted that it retains strong local interest and has a prominent street-front presence. {1}
