Unlisted, looking altered, but the flanking single cottage to the left and five to the right are grade II, late 18th century. The five have a modern tablet claiming 'circa 1776'. Were the cottages housing for the workers in the corner building? Local historians have surmised this was 'probably used for a number of purposes including a sail loft but certainly incorporated the tar house'. West Street north from here was used as a rope walk, the rope would be tarred.
