Not that you'd really know it from this side, but these two single storey cottages date from early 19th century, and are believed to be the only two remaining examples of extensive 'barracks'-style housing provided by the Earl Gower Company (which later became the Lilleshall Company) to house workers at its nearby canal, brick, ironstone and clay workings. They were Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101030946-3-and-5-bradley-road-lilleshall-and-donnington#.W6uTEdQrLGg in 1988, along with their attached wash-houses. The privies, pigsty and stables referred to in the listing details appear to have been lost to housing developments.
