Fullwood Drive, Golcar
This residential road is off Victoria Lane. What caught the eye was the large building in the distance; I have taken two close-up photographs of it, qv.

Building at Clay Well, Golcar (1)
This looks to be half way between a weaver's cottage and a woollen mill. The English Heritage listing gives it as “Nos 27 & 29 and adjoining factory building”, mid-19C. The factory part on the right has a carriage or cart entrance, and industrial-type windows to the upper floor, and unusual semi-circular windows to the first floor.

Building at Clay Well, Golcar (2)
There are taking-in doors in the gable-end facing the road, so it appears that the right-hand part of the building was at one time a warehouse rather than a home. The English Heritage listing mentions a dwelling with stone mullioned windows at the back. This side of the factory also has semicircular windows to the first floor. I have been informed that this was a grocer's and off licence shop run by Arthur and Phyllis Smith in the mid-20C.

Remains of cottages, Clay Well / Carr Top Lane, Golcar
Cottages were often built 'back-to earth' and cupboards made set into the retaining wall. These would be cool for storing food. After the cottages have been demolished the cupboards remain. I have been informed that the cottages were demolished c.1957, along with those in Rock Fold.

Small Lane, Golcar
Not only narrow, but short, as it soon changes its name to Clay Well.
