88, 90, 92 AND 94, MAIN STREET

This is a row of four cottages built in 1827, as indicated by a tablet at first floor level. They are constructed of red brick with a slate roof. The cottages are two storeys high and extend four bays wide, with gable projections at each end. A sandstone plinth and sills are present, alongside sandstone heads to the windows with stepped labels. Side entrances to the end cottages are sheltered by stone canopies supported on brackets, while the central cottages have canopies with wide, projecting, edge-moulded stone cheeks. The cottages each have three-light casement windows, and one original boarded door is present. A decorative feature at the gable apex consists of three projecting courses of brick, with the middle course projecting further. This detail is repeated in the capitals of the diagonally-set, clustered chimneys. The roof has a lead ridge, old slates, and very narrow gable bargeboards.
