HISTORICAL NOTE: probably built by the joiner John Kendall,
one of the craftsmen involved in the building of workers'
housing from 1780 onwards. He bought the field here and
erected 18 back-to-backs in Kendell Street behind this range;
he sold the remainder of the land to James Cooper in 1793 who
built 16 blind-back houses, some against the rear of this
block. The 1847 OS map shows the central entrance with step,
forecourt garden wall and gateway on the east, Kendall (sic)
Street side of No.38.
