Description
This is a row of six cottages located on Crab Lane in Blackley, Manchester, likely built around 1820 to 1830. The cottages were constructed in several phases. They are built of red brick in an English garden wall bond and have slate roofs. Each cottage has a single-fronted design and a double-depth plan. The row has a 6-window range and originally featured round-headed doorways, though Nos. 168 and 172 have square-headed doorways instead. Most cottages have 3-light casement windows, although No. 168 has an early 20th-century 2-storey canted bay, and No. 162 has 2-light windows. The ground-floor windows are topped with segmental arches. The cottages have chimneys on the front slope of the roof; the chimney at No. 166 is positioned lower than the others. The rear of the building and the interior have not been inspected. The cottages are of group value.
