Cash's houses
Image: © E Gammie Taken: 12 May 2012
The rear of the east range of the former weavers' cottages/factory. Study of old Ordnance Survey 1:2500 and 1:500 maps show that in 1887 the 2 ranges of cottages stood at some distance from any other housing. By 1905 Cash's had added a large factory building in the area here and terraced housing had begun to spring up nearby. 1906 shows another mill (factory) to the SE of Cash's bridge and motor works starting to appear in the general neighbourhood. By 1937 the area is completely built up. The 1951 map shows a gap in the cottages and less factory buildings, some having been lost during WWII.
