NO 1

Renewed for example of the type of dwelling

Cowshed and Potato Hovel (storage for root vegetables.

Pigsty and front of house showing garden?

NO 2

No 2 Blakemoor Gate renewed

NO 3

There is the outline of a door to the right of the existing door which was probably No 3

The rear of No 2/3. This is an extension of 2/3. Houses were constructed as families grew and somtimes close to the head of the family.

NO 4

This was probably just animal sheds but the last photograph shows substantial walls for a small area. Could have been reconstructed from a pile of stones. No chimney can be seen in any of the walls so most probably not a dwelling.

NO 5

NO 6

NO 7
