Billinge Side or Freezeland Row

Image: © Greum Taken: 4 Jun 2023

A row of cottages along Billinge End Road, most likely built for quarrymen working on Billinge Hill in the 19th century. The row is called Billinge Side on modern Ordnance Survey maps, though the original name was Freezeland Row, Freezeland being something of a local name for parts along this road between here and Pleasington village.
