Description

Circa 1790-1800. Terrace of single-storey mill and bleach workers cottages. Rubble-built elevations variously whitewashed or harled. Most window openings enlarged and given modern glazing patterns. Some later rear extensions.

Dormerless high slate roofs with small rooflights. Tall ashlar ridge stacks with thack stanes and coping. Perhaps originally thatched.

Statement of Interest

The oldest surviving group of working class housing in Dundee District. Associated with Trottick flax spinning mill which went through a number of owners, including J and W Brown (of EARLY DAYS IN A DUNDEE MILL, Abertay Soc) whose manager played the fiddle to his workforce. "Great Profits were occasionally realised, cherising sanguine hopes, which were blasted by sudden and extensive losses" (NSA). In about 1821 the mill became part of the Claverhouse Bleachfield Co, and with it, presumably, went these cottages.

Despite elevational alterations, the roofline and stacks are well preserved.
