Ballure Road House, Ramsey

Archaeology

A terrace of six houses, all of three storeys, constructed of masonry cement rendered with slate pitched roofs behind low parapets.  Each has a two storey bay window (three faced) on one side of the main entrance which is marked by a low flat arch.  There are moulded courses on the bays at first and second floor levels and also indicative of the roof level at the base of the parapet.  The second floor windows above the entrance doorways are semi-circular headed.  The terrace is known as Pink Terrace, because all the houses are traditionally painted pink.  No internal inspection has been made.  The houses appear to be in average repair.  The building group would appear to have some local sentimental significance largely derived from the colour of the paint and the display of neighbourly co-operation. However when recorded one of the houses has just been repainted grey.
