Statement of Interest

A-Group with Newtongrange, Lady Victoria Colliery, Manager's Office, and Newtongrange, Lady Victoria Colliery in Cockpen Parish. The cottages are built around a communal green at the front with individual gardens to rear. Lingerwood Cottages are not present on the 1st Edition OS (1854) Map. They were probably built in connection with the nearby Lingerwood Pit.
