Former canal workers' cottages, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. They lie immediately south of the route of the Shrewsbury arm of the Shropshire Union canal, which operated between 1797 and 1944, and were collectively Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101176899-3-and-4-berwick-wharf-atcham#.Yk17ycjMI2w & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1176899 in 1985. The exposed timber framing is a very late implementation of the construction technique, which is more commonly associated with older (16th/17th century) cottages.
