7 Gelli Houses

7 Gelli Houses were built in 1883 for coal miners working at nearby pits owned by the Glyncorrwg Coal Mining Company. This single-storey construction is notable for being one of the latest examples of its type. Each house has four rooms and a lean-to pantry at the back, although originally only two of the rooms were heated. The houses initially shared a communal bakehouse, which had been demolished by 1904.

The Gelli Houses consist of two rows of six double-fronted houses arranged end-to-end but not quite parallel. The walls are made of rubble stone and have been rendered, while the roofs have been renewed. Most of the brick chimneys remain, with some also rendered. The windows and doors have been replaced but are mostly in their original openings.
