History

Built in l828 (see datestone to No 23) by Lewis Morris, perhaps as weavers' cottages.

Exterior

Ten 2-storey cottages set in reflected pairs with central tunnel passage. Colourwashed rubble l-window fronts; slate roofs, some renewed, some grouted and rubble chimney stacks with weathercourses, some rendered. Mostly horned sash windows, only one of which (to No l5 lst floor) is small pane; otherwise without any glazing bars except to No 23 which has 4-pane sashes; No 23 also has a later small pane casement over the passage and Nos l9 and 21 have modern windows. Cambered voussoirs to ground floor windows; boarded doors retained only to No 15, otherwise half-glazed - the modern door to No 21 is recessed (later alteration). Scribed rendered left end, rubble right end and colourwashed rubble rear with mostly modern windows, some lean-tos and modern cross range to left. Slate flagged, whitewashed rubble walled through passage.

The pairs, Nos l9 and 21 and 25 and 27 have been combined into single properties.
