Description

A row of six cottages was built in the late 18th century. They are constructed from hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The cottages feature quoins, coped gables with kneelers, and gutter brackets. The row is two rooms deep, with each cottage having a doorway with tie-stone jambs to the left of a five-light chamfered mullioned window. The outer mullions have been removed from these windows, creating two wider lights on either side of a taller, narrower central window with a similar design above to the first floor. There are six stacks positioned along the ridge.

Slack Bottom sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,100 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 53 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 31 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
