These are Cocked Hat Cottages, that were built around 1860. The Unwin family owned a quarry on the Bolehills and lived here. This end of the building was a stable with hay loft. The un-surfaced lane that ran by was called Cocked Hat Lane, from which the cottages took their name. Tinker Lane, which ends here at Bolehill Lane, rises here by 105 metres on its way up from Bole Hill Road. I once carried my wife all the way up.
