Description

Later 19th century. 3 irregular street-fronting blocks of single storey mill workers cottages much-altered and extended at rear. Nos 1 and 3 as 6-bay block; Nos 5 to 19 with stepped roofs on rising ground (21 bays); Nos 19 and 21 linked by flat-roofed extension. Symmetrical, 3-bay, Aberdeen bond dark whinstone with contrasting dressed ashlar margins, long and shortwork quoins and stop-chamfered arrises. Door with fanlight at centre, windows in flanking bays. Gable to E end of cottage number 1 has 2 windows with projecting chimney breast to ground level, and band course above ground floor.

Modern glazing to all cottages but number 13 which retains 4-pane glazing pattern in sash and case windows and 2-leaf boarded door with bipartite fanlight over. Grey slates. 1 and 3 with sawtooth coped skews and angled skewputts; cavetto coped stone stacks with some cans.

Statement of Interest

Retention of stacks and unbroken roofscapes together with original openings and masonry treatment bring these cottage rows above the margin for listing. Pal stones are to be found against the west and east ends respectively of numbers 13 and 15. The area known as Prinlaws provided housing for workers in the Prinlaws Mills, and was enclosed behind locked gates at night. The east end of number 23 now adjoins Prinlaws Public House.
