Former weavers' cottages, from the days when many people operated looms in the upper floors of their houses, and identified by the long multi-light mullioned windows. The tall houses front on to Dunford Road, and the lower two storeys look to have been separate dwellings 'back-to-earth', with the weavers' windows on the upper floor. Swan Bank Mill was on the right, now converted to homes.
