For (associated) Stanley Mills (at NO 114 328), see NO13SW 43.00.

See also (architectural) entries for specific houses.

(Location cited as NO 11 33). Late 18th to early 19th centuries. A group of houses on a rectangular plan, built in connection with the mills (NO13SW 43), with two main streets (Percy Street-Store Street and Duchess Street-King Street) and three cross streets (The Square, Charlotte Street and Mill Street).

Though some of the original houses have been demolished, several two-storey blocks remain; most of these are rubble-built, the best examples being on the N side of Percy Street and Store Street. There is also a brick range on the S side of Store Street, which has recently been renovated; unfortunately, the original small-paned windows have not been retained.
