Description

Nos. 17, 19, 21, and 23 on Smithwell Lane are a row of four cottages built in the second quarter of the 19th century. They are constructed from hammer-dressed stone and feature a stone slate roof with quoins. Each cottage has a doorway with tie-stone jambs and a 5-light flat-faced mullioned window, with a 6-light window above on the first floor. Only No. 23 retains all its mullions, while the other cottages are missing two mullions on the ground floor and three on the first floor. There are four stacks along the ridge of the roof.
