Extant Building
A row of twelve aged miners' cottages built in 1906 for the Durham Aged Miners' Homes Association. Built of yellow brick with bands of red brick and roofs of Welsh slate with decorated red ridge tiles. Each house has one double sash window with stone cill and a central stone mullion. Row of turned wooden posts and brackets on low brick wall supports full-length porch. Chimneys of yellow brick with red brick cornice. Low coped brick walls carrying iron railings enclose garden in front of house. Included for sociological reasons. Whilst not dissimilar to aged miners' homes throughout the region, the added architectural elegance has given this group listed status {1}.
