No. 12 - Rose Cottages
Built in the early 1800's these two cottages originally named 1 and 2 Rose Cottages were a traditional two up and two down with a separate toilet situated at the bottom of the garden. A well in the garden provided fresh water. The 1891 census shows that William Fever lived at number 1 with his wife and three children. His brother Robert lived next door at number 2 with his wife and another family of three. The front room of the house on the left was used as a doctor's surgery.
Judging from the clothing, this picture was probably taken in the decade before the First World War.
The property was modernised in the 1970's and converted into one house being renamed as Carrott Cottage.
