Each side has gabled porch with shouldered head to opening and recess for number over
doorway, to side of porch and opening which may have been originally designed for a

2-light casements at first floor and horizontal sliding sashes at first floor. Rear
of each has attached granite water trough central placed, and small single-storey

The cottages have very few alterations and are one of the best surviving examples of
purpose-built mining accommodation in the area. Alterations include: porch removed
from no 6 and half-glazed door added at rear. No 7 has C20 windows at ground and
first floor front. No 8 has C20 ground floor sidelight. No 9 has porch with hipped
roof and C20 sidelight. No 16 has had porch rebuilt larger than original. No 20 has

These photographs of the exterior of listed buildings were taken by volunteers between 1999 and 2008. The project was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
