TOPOGRAPHICAL LIST OF HOUSES BUILT BETWEEN 1800 AND 1850

The following is a complete list of houses now, or recently, surviving built between 1800 and 1850. Buildings embodying older work are not included. A definite terminus is given by the 1/1056 OS map for which the survey was completed in 1851; this may be the only evidence for a pre-1850 date; but most of the houses can be dated more closely either stylistically or documentarily as noted. All houses have brick walls and Welsh slate roofs unless otherwise stated. Windows usually have flat arches and hung sashes, and external doorways have a timber surround in the form of moulded or panelled pilasters supporting a simple entablature. The gutters are often on paired wooden brackets. Staircases usually have moulded rails, cut strings and square balusters; the fireplaces have wooden or marble surrounds, and the grates are generally by Carron of Falkirk. Drawings mentioned as by Peter Atkinson II and J. B. and W. Atkinson are in the archives of Messrs. Brierley, Leckenby & Keighley (1967). Where a house is described as of 1½ bays, this means a room with a passage at the side of it.
