Building record 445/0/52 - No.78 Main Road and former cobbler shop

Brick cottage dating to the late 18th or early 19th century. Locally listed building.

{1} No.78 Main Road dates to the late 18th or early 19th century. It is a typical brick cottage of two storeys with three bays and a pitched slate roof. There are brick stacks at either gable end on the apex. The gable ends also have decorative brick modillions, noticeable travelling along the street.
The windows are later timber casements, with brick arches above. The doorway has a modern door and canopy. It has a small one storey outbuilding attached to the east, also built of brick with a slate roof, and a brick boundary wall in Flemish Garden Wall bond with saddle stone coping. This outbuilding may have been used as a cobblers shop and shoemaker in the 19th century. Around the corner on The Marsh stands a small outbuilding with a single chimney previously used as a washhouse in the late 19th century, now it is a local hairdresser’s salon. The buildings form a grouping with the grade II listed United Reformed Church, the rear of which can be seen from Main Road.
