Description
2005. Field survey.
Brickfield Cottages are adjacent to the site of the former Wintry Park Brick and Tile Works (EHER 15523). Built in the mid 19th century, this terrace of currently eight, but originally ten, houses have rendered brick walls and tiled roofs. Each originally had one window on the ground and first floors of the façade with a door under the blank part of the upper storey wall: the windows were probably originally sashes with small panes. To the rear each house had brick built sheds and weather-boarded outbuildings both under tiled roofs. The outbuildings contained ranges and coppers, still extant at the rear of No.6. A separate shed at the rear of No.2 still has the communal bake house. <1>
