Pair of cottages. Mid-C18, altered C20.
MATERIALS: rubble sandstone, Welsh slate roof, formerly stone slate.
EXTERIOR: semi-detached pair of two-storey, double–fronted cottages with central entrances and a lower wing to the rear of each cottage. The building is quoined with large quoins. Openings have large plain lintels and projecting sills, the windows having glazing bars. There is a brick end-stack on the left, the end-stack to the right being shared with the neighbouring property (this other property is not included in the listing). The rear wings also have end-stacks.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT: this is thought to be one of the buildings depicted on a plan dated 1757, being a surviving pair of cottages of those that originally formed the hamlet of Elsecar Green. These cottages predate the development of the industrial village of Elsecar by the Earls Fitzwilliam of Wentworth Woodhouse. At Elsecar, from the late C18 onwards, the Fitzwilliams invested in coal mining and iron working, erecting industrial buildings along with good quality workers’ housing and a range of other urban facilities including a church and school, all within what had been an agricultural landscape. The survival of many of these buildings makes Elsecar an important and significant place, telling the story of three centuries of coal mining, Christian paternalism, and industrial boom and decline.
