'These ten stone back to back cottages are built facing north south along Burnley Road. The houses on the north side are now mostly used as shops. They appear to have been built c.1780 1800.
The are of watershot stone (a post 1770 feature in this area) with quoins and a stone roof. The doors have interrupted jambs; the windows have flush surrounds. The windows are five or six light, the central light having a raised lintel. The original mullion divisions survive in one cottage. There are king mullions at either side of the central, ground floor, light.
The cottages are 4.44m wide by 4.95m deep, the party walls being 0.52m thick. they have a heated living room and a heated room (bed or work room) above. There is an attic lit by a sky light and they had cellars.
