Three rows of these brick-built houses were erected by the colliery owners around 1910-1912 at Broomknowe. They were regarded as a model development, giving greatly improved living conditions for the miners' families and their continued existence confirms this. Most miners' rows were demolished as slums long ago. Similar long-standing colliery houses can be seen at Girvan Image
