Only the bright afternoon sunshine made these otherwise nondescript houses stand out. The fact they stand so far above the level of the road suggests they may predate the Lancashire & Yorkshire railway, as the road was lowered to go under the railway just out of shot to the right Image That would date them from the early 19th century at the latest.
