Pair of cottages, now on St Mary's Road but originally accessed from Worple Road to the rear. The plaques in the gables give building dates of 1869 (in the case of Elmbank Cottage on the left) and 1871 (in the case of Elm Cottage on the right), long predating the development of the rest of St Mary's Road in the 1920s/30s after the 21½ acre grounds of Elm Bank House were sold off. Both also have the initials ETR on a separate plaque, presumably the builder.
