Victory Cottages

Victory Cottages are a row of six terraced cottages dating to the late 18th or early 19th century. The cottages are built of painted brick with an old tiled mansard roof. They are two storeys high, with 13 dormers projecting from the ridge. Each cottage has two windows, with the exception of number 1, which has three. The windows are early 19th-century casement windows. Central doors lead into each cottage. They form a picturesque group situated at a right angle to The Hard, at a bend in the road. Local tradition suggests Victory Cottages were built for shipyard workers, possibly around the time of the Napoleonic Wars or earlier. Together with Bay Tree Cottages (Nos 1 and 2) and the building adjacent to No 1, they form a notable group.
