JORDANS, at No 4 Priory Place, is one of ten houses on this terrace, all designed by William Hurst, who was responsible for a number of other buildings in Doncaster.

Originally built as townhouses, they are all now shops and offices. These houses were built in the 1830s, with later alterations.

All these houses have three storeys. They are rendered with Stucco, a construction material made of aggregates, a binder, and water. Stucco is applied wet and hardens to a very dense solid.

All of the houses, feature, painted stone dressings and slate roofs, except for Number 7 and 8 which have concrete tiles.

Jordans has the only building with a surviving original ground floor, with a subtle bow window and double doors flanked by pilasters and surmounted by an arch with voussoirs (the individual blocks of stone) clearly visible.
