Summary

A range of three 18th century cottages stood at this location until 1996, when they were destroyed by fire. The original cottages were built of brick and had one storey, attics and a thatched roof. They were Listed in 1983, but following the fire the protected status was removed. There is currently a building at this location, but it is uncertain how much of the original fabric of the 18th century cottages was re-used during reconstruction.
