These cottages form part of the important planned village of Catrine. Intended to be built as part of a planned square with a cotton mill at its centre, part of the square and the mill have now been demolished. The cottages retain much of their external character and are part of the early core of the planned village. Together with the other listed buildings in Mill Square and Bridge Street, they form an important group of former mill workers cottages and have considerable streetscape value. With the demolition of the mill in 1963, they are important reminders of the once key role the cotton mill played in the village.
The group interest of the cottages is recognised by the inclusion in a B-group..
The village of Catrine was planned around a cotton mill, founded in 1787 by the local laird Claud Alexander in collaboration with David Dale. By the early 19th century, the mill was employing over 1000 people and housed the largest and most powerful water-driven wheels in Great Britain. The mill brought prosperity and employment to the area and the village benefited in many ways, including early gas lighting, free education and cheap housing. During the 20th century, the rise of cheap imports and the popularity of synthetic fabrics meant the mill was no longer economically viable and it closed in the 1950s. It was demolished in 1963.
These houses were refurbished in the 1980s as part of a unified housing scheme
