Colebrooke Row is a street of late 18th and early 19th century terraced houses.
In 1717, a pair of two-storeyed cottages was built on the south side of the New River near River Lane. These became 56 and 57 Colebrooke Row. The surrounding Hattersfield was sold to Walter Burton, who built a brewhouse and brick kilns. Bricks and tiles were made in the 1730s and the field became known as Tile Kiln Field.
The name Colebrooke Row slowly came into existence for the road after the houses originally called Colebrooke Row were built in 1768.
Charles Lamb, the poet, lived at Colebrooke Cottage on the street between 1823 and 1827 which was situated beside the New River. A short-sighted guest of Lamb, George Dyer, once fell into the river after leaving the cottage.
