Known as Rochester Terrace, it had a metal roof and wrought iron balconies. There are children playing in front yards of the two terraces near the corner of Fig Street. The end terrace is covered with thick ivy and there is a street sign for Fig Street on the gable. This photograph was taken on 23 January 1919, just before the houses were demolished to make way for Horman & Wormald’s wool and hide store. That building was in turn demolished to create Fig Lane Park. Another view was taken on the same day, but from another angle.
