Statement of Interest

These cottages probably date from around the time that the working- horses stable was added to Blackadder Mount (see separate listing). There is a similar group of cottages to E. All were altered to form

3 cottages (in this case) from a 4 cottage range in 1952. Ruinous pigsties to N.
