Early C19 Cluster Houses. Built after 1803 by William Strutt in co-operation
with Bage of Shrewsbury. Since Bage's similar houses of 1790s no longer exist,
the Clusters in Belper are believed to be the oldest surviving example of this
particular housing type which was subsequently copied in many other parts of
the world. Innovative plan of one block divided north/south and east/west
to form 4 back to back houses. Each block sited in centre of large plot similarly
divided so that the northern 2 houses in each block are on one street and
those to the south on another. Eight blocks or 'Clusters' were originally
envisaged but only 5 actually built. They were intended as houses for mill
foremen and managerial staff. Coursed stone, slate roof sloped down hillside,
end and centre stacks. Two and a half storeys with flanking 2 storey one
bay recessed wings. One window each and small ground floor window to left
of door. Originally skylights and attic windows in gable ends. Windows, sashes
with stone lintels and doors with voussoirs and cambered arches. Internal
plan of living room and kitchen separated by inside coal house and cellar
stairs. Some modifications and additions to several houses. Coursed stone
rubble garden walls.
