Mount Pleasant The Hill

Mount Pleasant, also known as The Hill, is a quarryman's cottage that dates back to the early 18th century, with likely alterations and additions from the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed from dressed and coursed yellow and grey Grinshill sandstone rubble, featuring ashlar facing at the front and a right-hand gable end that has been rebuilt in red brick. The roof is covered with plain tiles.

The cottage has a single cell plan and consists of one storey with a gable-lit attic. There is an integral brick end stack on the left side. The front features a small inserted first-floor square window and a central ground-floor two-light wooden casement window with a stone cill and a keyed lintel, which has replaced a door, as indicated by straight joints beneath. To the right, there is a boarded door with a keyed lintel, inserted into a widened window opening. A blocked window on the left has a stone cill and a keyed lintel.

Notably, there are inscribed quarrymen's graffiti to the right of the door, including small circles and the initials "E.P." and "J.W." within lined borders, while other initials are illegible. The name "John Fielding" is inscribed on the left-hand blocked window. The right-hand gable end features a pair of segmental-headed two-light wooden casements and a rubble lean-to with a two-light wooden casement at the front and an external brick stack at the rear. There is a probable former blacksmith's shop set back to the left, which has an integral brick corner stack at the front, a two-light wooden casement at the front, and a pair of boarded doors inside. The interior of the house has not been inspected. Originally, the front likely had a central doorway flanked by windows, but this was altered at some point in the 19th century.
