Description

This is a terrace of three cottages, built around 1870 by the Ashington Coal Company. Located in First Row, Ashington, they represent some of the least altered of the original miners’ rows constructed by the company, as part of a larger development of approximately 300 houses between around 1855 and 1878.

The cottages are built of brick in English Garden Wall Bond, with painted stone sills and lintels, and have Welsh slate roofs. Each cottage is two storeys high and two bays wide. They feature renewed doors and four-pane sash windows. The ridge is punctuated by banded brick stacks.

Associated backyard walls are present, featuring boarded hatches and yard doors, along with attached outbuildings.
