Flood Gates Cottage

Flood Gates Cottage is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1801 for Samuel Oldknow. It served as a cottage for flood gate operatives and is made of dressed stone with a slate roof. The cottage features a two-storey design with canted corners and measures two bays by one bay. It has a projecting plinth and includes two windows on each floor of the side walls, as well as one window on each floor of the end walls. Each canted wall has a door with a window above it. The doors are four-panel designs with square-cut stone surrounds, and the windows are primarily sash windows, except for three that have been replaced with cross casements. The roof is pyramidal and topped with a large ridge chimney stack.
