I have to thank a local resident who treated us to a little guided tour, explaining that the cottages were built as four pairs - with a singleton at either end. The oldest are the flint-faced ones at the upper end of the terrace - while the next pair to be built are dated 1809. 'Blue' glazed bricks are quite noticeable (mingled with red) in the earlier cottages. Inside, ground floor levels have been lowered, to allow extra headroom. Local street signs don't agree as to the name of this road. One calls it Barracks Hill, another, a few yards away, gives the singular form.
