Depicted on the 1840s Tithe Map as a range of dwellings fronting onto the road following the curve of the street. No gaps shown in the buildings between Southcombe Street and Lower Street. Plot numbers from the south to north; 64 ('Chapel'), 68 ('Cottages and Yard') and to the rear: 67 ('Two cottages and garden').

The late 19th century historic map shows a number of subdivisions. The part of the range of buildings that was recorded as 'chapel' on the Tithe Map is now subdivided into two properties and the adjacent building to the south is now in use as a chapel. At least six separate cottages run from the former chapel northwards, the curve of the range matching the road. Yard shown to rear, with other associated structures; possibly additional dwellings. To the rear of the modern number 17 Southcombe Street is a range of buildings shown.
