Description and History of Site:-
It consists of a single block 22m long by 10, wide, and 3 storeys high, divided into a number of individual dwellings - 3 nowadays. It is clearly, from external and internal inspection, a row of back-to-back cottages built as housing for workers in the two cotton mills in the parish. It looks as though the block was extended by raising the whole and extending the frontage of an earlier single row of cottages.

This contributor is currently researching the row's history and makeup. Nothing specific is known of its origins other than it was not there in 1800. After the mills closed in 1955 and people moved away en masse it became derelict and was condemned as unfit for human habitation but was bought by a developer in the 1970s and renovated (unsympathetically) as housing - many original features were removed.
