Statement of Interest

Little Crawfurd was, until 1963, part of the much bigger house of Crawford Bank which extended further NW up the hill. Due to subsidence caused by local mining activities, the upper section of the house was demolished, a new house having been built on the site since. Information courtesy of the owner. The cart shed and stable block in polychromatic brick are of unusual design.
