Edinburgh, Newcraighall Road, Niddrie Cottages
Built prior to World War One (probably c.1912), these houses comprise a row of five one-and-a-half-storeyed blocks, four of which are semi-detached cottages. They are built from yellow (fire-clay rich) brick, and associated with the local collieries of the Niddrie and Benhar Coal Company (Niddrie and Newcraighall Pits, the latter operating from 1898 to 1968). The fifth (east-most) block is longer than the others, comprising four dwellings in a small terrace. All the cottages have gabled slate roofs and dormers.
