worker's house — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Remain of two groups of terraced rubble stone mill workers' cottages, c.1830. Now in ruins with fragments remaining. Roofs now gone (profile not discernible). Random rubble stone walls (mostly collapsed) with lime mortar, and some shallow segmental-headed vaults (probably originally fireplaces). Openings not discernible. Sited on island with terraces arranged on a shallow V-shaped plan with overgrown grounds to site.

This site is of considerable social and historical significance, comprising the first stage of the planned 'model' industrial village founded by David Malcomson (n. d.). Built as accommodation for workers at the local industrial plant the terraces were subsequently abandoned in favour of the houses comprising the second phase of development, and now survive as overgrown fragments in the landscape.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
