1 And 2, Alma Cottages

This is a pair of cottages built around 1860, with alterations made in the 20th century. They are constructed from coursed squared gritstone and have a slate roof, showcasing a Gothic Revival style. The cottages are one and a half storeys high and consist of three bays, with the central bay featuring a gable. The corners of the building are accentuated with long and short ashlar quoins.

The facade facing the roadway includes cross-frame windows set in rusticated surrounds, although the windows on No.2 have been altered. There are arched entrances on the left and right sides, along with a small bay window that has a stone roof and a two-light window in the gable above. The eaves and roof display elaborate detailing, including deep carved wooden eaves brackets, fish-scale slates, crested ridge tiles, and two large corniced ridge stacks with four flues, some topped with tall battlemented chimney pots.

The interior has not been inspected. These cottages are part of a group of four pairs built on a narrow strip of land, as shown on the 1850 Ordnance Survey map. According to the 1872 Directory, Joseph Sunderland, a builder, lived at No.1, while Thomas Horsfall, a woollen printer, resided at No.2.
