Osnaburg Street is another picturesque group of buildings figure 13. Entered from the south or, from the north by a pend from the High street, the properties here are eighteenth or early ninteenth century; and reflect the type of housing sought after at the time of the boom in production of osnaburg (see p 25). Nos 3-9 Osnaburg Street form a very attractive feature at the north end of the street, in spite of the stucco finish on one property. Nos 3-5 are two-storeyed, with a raised, railed front area that connects with the lower block at 7-9. A forestair leads to the first floor at 3-5. 11 Osnaburg Street and 13-17 Osnaburg Street are two-storeyed, stuccoed dwellings, no 13-17 still retaining its original glazing.
