Older than Gas Lane, and older than the 19th century houses lining St Leonard's street, is this cottage known as 'Cecil Cottage', although whether the connection with the family that own Burghley is anything other than fanciful I doubt very much. This looks like a late 17th or early 18th century building, and may well have once been thatched although it now has a collyweston slate roof.

Glimpsed over a wall in Gas Lane, this building was certainly part of the former dairy, though I am not sure it was ever stables - or just stables at any rate. 2-storey stables are not so common. It was definitely a Victorian industrial building, converted to a house around 1990

At the corner of Wharf Road and Gas Lane.

A row of workman's cottages built by the Burghley estate during the 19th century expansion of the town.

Some of the modern housing in Gas Lane. I am not sure I would name anything after The Danegeld, which is surely a badge of shame.
