Billinge Side or Freezeland Row
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.

The top of Billinge Hill
The top of the hill is disappointing as far as views are concerned, as there are so many trees, which obscure even in winter. Blackburn is laid out below.
