GV II

Four small courtyard cottages in row formerly of 5 (No.2 at west end recently demolished), now partly store and partly unoccupied at time of survey (1991). Pre-dating 1848, with later alterations, No.10 remaining the most complete of the four units. Watershot coursed squared sandstone (roof not visible but probably stone slate). Single-depth plan, each cottage single-fronted, built in pairs with doorways of each pair flanking a lobby entry doorway. EXTERIOR: 3 low storeys but all remodelled to 2 storeys except No.10; formerly 4 windows at 1st floor but now 5; with a square-cut stone gutter cornice. Nos 8 & 10 have triple doorways with square-cut monolith jambs and lintels, all formerly of equal height but the lintel of No.8 raised to make an overlight; No.10 has one window on each floor, the topmost square, all with raised plain surrounds but all now blocked, plus a small oblong window at 1st floor over the door (also blocked); No.8 to the left has the lintel of a formerly similar small window over the doorway, an altered window at ground floor and an enlarged window at 1st floor. Nos 4 & 6 have a lobby entry doorway like Nos 8 & 10, but the former doorway to No.6 has been altered as a window and the doorway to No.4 has been raised (the lintel retaining the painted number "4") and is now blocked with brick; and both these cottages now have C20 windows. INTERIOR not inspected. Unusual survival of a type of dwelling generally outlawed after the Public Health Act of 1848.
