Listing: [the six houses are separately listed, each being
described as:] c.1840
Comment: This is a mid-C19 development of very
similar houses. Numbers 1 and 2 are single houses, 3 & 4 and 5 & 6 are
pairs. They lie along one side of their own access road.
They are all of basically similar style. Another house nearby seems to
have been a caretaker's or gardener's house, associated with the
development. When built they would have been well out of town and
almost completely isolated in the fields. How and why this development
took place would be a very interesting story but no one seems to know it.
All information will be gratefully received.
