Statement of Interest

A traditional early 19th century cottage, of value to the streetscape. The deeds for No 71 date back to 1801, and it is likely that this house was built at the same time. According to Mr Holbrook, who lives at No 71 (2004), this house was originally single storey, and has been heightened twice. Although No 69 built as a separate house, in the late 19th century it was joined to No 71, when that premises was a Public House. No 69 was completely modernised internally in about 1990.
