These cottages, on the junction of Coaley Lane (sometimes spelt Coley). Elsecar Road and Smithy Bridge Lane, are known as 'The Counting Houses' ... Many years ago they were used as the headquarters for a number of small coal pits that once thrived in the neighborhood, and the monies earned were counted and distributed from here. Image
