Source Number  

1 The original C18th century brick built cottage had undergone a number of alterations during its lifetime. A two-storey extension was built onto the east during the early 19th Century followed by a further extension to the rear in the late 19th Century.
2 Four phases of development were recorded. These may reflect the need for additional man power to service the increasing traffic along the canal and the consequent expansion of the canal facilities at Dunton.
