All the houses in Rodger Street are Category B listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/200397554-cellardyke-rodger-street-nos-10-14-38-even-nos-including-boundary-walls-and-ancillary-buildings-east-neuk-and-landward-ward#.W_gBgdSLTGg, this one being just one example of the 13 on the east side of the road. The street was built in the late 1870s/early 1880s as paired tenements for fishermen of the town; the houses had net-drying space in front of each, and storage sheds included at the rear along with attics for repair. It is named in honour of Alexander Rodger, a merchant sea captain and owner of tea clipper vessels in the middle of the 19th century, who made significant improvements to Cellardyke harbour in the 1860s.
