NMRS NOTES:
Birthplace of J. M. Barrie
Publication Account (2013)
The only property in the town to have been given the then uniform NTS coating of cement harl is externally rather less informative than the neighbours. These houses are marked “the Tenements” in OS maps, and have 4-loom shops to either side of the common stair. The warping lofts appear to have been to the south of these, beyond the wash house, and built of timber. Some half-slated garages nearby may have been connected to these. Open to the public, NTS.

Reference ( - June 2014)
A late 18th/early 19th century, 2-storey tenement house of rubble build, harled and slated, with 4 windows to the south. It is the birthplace of Sir J.M. Barrie in 1860 and the home of his parents until 1870.
