ELEVEN PICTURES: 7-25 North Road

This is a terrace of mid 19th century brick built artisans cottages associated either with the Worth Estate or the railway junction at Three Bridges. The buildings are of varying roof heights, which adds visual interest. However, they are much altered, with the majority of the windows replaced with uPVC since the local list description was first written and most roofs reroofed with concrete tiles, although the original slates on Nos. 7-9 survive.
