A group of terraced cottages built for framework knitters, of which the western and part of the northern rows still survive. This is the rear face of the western row and shows to advantage the large windows to provide light for the knitters. Unusually these are on the ground floor rather than the more traditional attic location; this is a feature of a number of buildings in Calverton. The cottages were built in 1834 and renovated in 1974, commemorated by the plaque on the side of the building. Listed Grade II.
