Statement of Interest

Heathbank is a good example of a little altered traditional building that presents a distinctive frontage to the main road. It forms one of a group of buildings of the same design scheme which were probably built to house workers of a nearby granite quarry. Heathbank along with Moor House to the W and Crookmore to the E all retain their original contiguous boundary walls, gate piers, railings and gates. Listed B Group with Moor House and Crookmore.
