27-33 Silver Street, Branston

Image: © Jo and Steve Turner Taken: 28 Nov 2019

Early 19th century Grade II Listed row of cottages. Labelled on the OS map as Westward Cottages, I seem to remember the adjacent shop (35) was known as Westward's Shop in the 1950s/60s. Pevsner comments that they are 'in a Lovely style' in reference to Thomas Lovelee (1808-1877) a Corn Miller, Stonemason, and Lime Burner who built Stonefield House (14 Sleaford Road). Silver Street was formerly known as Bleak Street.
