Scope and Content Nos 51-75 Philpingstone Road from east, Bo'ness, Falkirk These two-storeyed, terraced, flatted cottages with attics were built 1890-5 to designs by architect John More Dick Peddie (1853-1921). Each pair of cottages has front doors to the lower flats and outside stairs to the upper flats at the rear. The houses were demolished in the 1980s. This shows the houses with their paired front doors beneath a curving cement hood. Above this are two bullseye windows. The paired windows have deep stone margins contrasting with the harled rubble walls. The roof features tripartite dormer windows and ornamental terracotta edging tiles. These cottages were built as model housing for workers at the Bo'ness Iron Foundry by the owners, the Cadell family of Grange. Towards the end of the 19th century, some factory, mill and foundry owners began to take more interest in their worker's welfare and aimed to provide higher quality working and living conditions.
