Description
Top Cottages is a terrace of four mill-workers' cottages built around 1843, likely by the architects Weightman & Hadfield. The cottages are constructed from coursed squared limestone with gritstone dressings and quoins, topped with a Welsh slate roof that features a central group of four stone ridge stacks and two additional ridge stacks. They are single storey with an attic storey and have a symmetrical four-bay south elevation.
On the left side, there is a doorway with a stone bracketed hood, followed by a three-light chamfered mullion window with a dripmould. To the right of this window is a similar doorway and window. The two bays on the right mirror the two on the left. Above, there are four two-light dormer windows with wooden bargeboards and finials, and most of the windows retain their original diamond lights.
These cottages are part of the mill settlement built to serve Cressbrook Mill and are arranged in a symmetrical composition with Nos 63 - 65 and Nos 66 - 69 Top Cottages.
