A row of former (C19th?) malthouse cottages a stone's throw from the newly created mini-roundabout at the town centre end of Annesley Road. A new 'town centre relief road' (opened in November 2016), that provides motorists with a way of avoiding the soon-to-be-opened pedestrianised section of High Street, passes in front of these houses, separated by a new 6ft tall sandstone wall. Prior to the commencement of the town centre improvement scheme - started in January 2016 and due to be completed in May 2017 - these houses were much less visible to passers-by by virtue of being situated in a secluded mill lane (a cul-de-sac). The property occupiers now have a 14-16 ft tarmacked area between their boundary walls and the relief road's boundary wall. Behind them lies Palmer Avenue and another residential street called The Connery.
