Pair of cottages, 1752. Limestone rubble (No. 61, to the left, rendered)
with sandstone dressings and slate roof. Double-pile plan with gable
stacks. 2 storeys with attics. Twin doors in centre with plain stone
surrounds. Windows chamfered with flush mullions. To the left is a former
2-light window with sill lowered and mullion removed. To the right
(No. 63) is a 3-light window. On the 1st floor is a 2-light window to the
left and a 3-light window to the right. Above the doors is an oval plaque
with carved border inscribed 'J D 1752'. The right-hand gable wall has two
2-light windows with a chamfered one-light attic window. Gables have coping
and kneelers. The cottages were once undivided on the 1st floor, suggesting
that they might have been built as one house with a separate workshop entrance
on the ground floor.
