Appraisal
Located in Blackpool, once a separate village outside the city, this modest house and its neighbour make an eye-catching contribution to the streetscape. The steeply pitched roofs and substantial chimneystacks are particularly noteworthy and are indicative of an early construction date. Though the facades have been altered and remodelled and the historic joinery replaced, the overall eighteenth century form, appearance and scale of the pair is significant.
