Former Colliery Houses

The houses in this area were built to accommodate local coal miners and were far ahead of their time in design and construction, significantly better than the typical miners' rows found elsewhere. This view shows Maxwell Street. The miners worked in the pits around Dailly, a few miles inland. Other well-built colliery houses can be seen at Dalmellington - Image
