Eastgate : old cottages (View 2)
Another c.1950s/60s view of the old cottages, constructed of irregular pieces of local sandstone. The upper windows have 19 'lights' or panes and the taller lower onews have 18. Also note the low but wide doorway – and the bird cage over the lintel! It must have been a fine sunny day. The schoolgirls in the image help to make it more interesting to the eye, one of them turning slightly towards the photographer.
