Appraisal

This house contributes to the integrity of the terrace of which it is part. Moulded details around window and door openings serve to enliven the composition. The decorative cast-iron railings and gates which flow all the way along the terrace further reinforce the unity. The panelled entrance door is one of very few examples of original joinery work in the terrace. Hanley Terrace was built by and took its name from Dudley Hanley (1876-1946).
