Description:
No. 78 and 80 are small single storey limestone cottages with pantile roofs. Probably 17th century in date. 'Modernised' in the 19th century with the addition of a second storey added in brick, and the front elevations refaced in brick or rendered. They now bear the date 1883. Nos. 82 to 84 are Victorian, probably replacing a similar cottage. The shopfront is a good later addition. A boot scraper survives at No. 82.
