| Title | 58-68 Westgate Hill Street (Lane End Terrace), Tong |
| Description | 58 68 Westgate Hill Street (Lane End Terrace), Tong. Row of early 19th century terraced houses.
58 68 Westgate Hill Street were the subject of an archaeological assessment by Lucy Caffyn in 1982 as part of the WYAS/RCHME Worker's Housing Survey. The photographic images produced by the assessment are held by WYAAS (Caffyn. L. (WYAS/RCHME). 1982). The fieldwork report is transcribed below:
'This is a terrace of six houses facing north. It seems to be of early 19th century date, and may well have been occupied by miners who worked in the Newmarket pit opposite.
The houses are stone, with a flagstone roof and brick chimneys. The doors and windows have stone surrounds.
They have two rooms up and down, and two flues each.
At the east end is an attached single storey two roomed cottage, with both rooms heated by a central stack. It has large windows and is probably of later 19th century date.
Opposite is a row of three two storeyed houses of stone, with stone chimneys and with three light mullioned windows'.
