This house with a clock on the wall, built around 1836, was originally the office for the Earl of Carlisle's collieries. Kirkhouse is a quiet hamlet today, compared to the 19th century when there was a busy depot here servicing the coal and mineral industries https://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=958435&sort=4&search=all&criteria=kirkhouse&rational=q&recordsperpage=10 . The cottage is a listed building - more information at Historic England https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1356586 .
