42. 17 Armitage Road (near junction with Arch Street)


A late Victorian 2-storey detached villa with an architecturally pleasing
and largely unaltered double frontage. It has attractive relief decoration
on its window lintels and cills. A brick-built original front porch has
matching relief decoration on door the arch, and side windows have cast
frames with small lozenge panes.

43. The Roost 70 Main Road Brereton



     This attractive and double-fronted 2-storey house in an elevated
     position has retained its name since Victorian times (being the
     same in the 1881 census). Built by Longdon builder Charles
     Brown of local brick on a plot he bought in 1821 for £52.50, he
     rented it out to 'better-off” tenants but his trustees sold it in
     1874. Brereton's Vicar Samson purchased it in 1882 mostly for his
     servants     (seven and a governess at the time). In 1891 his
     coachman/groom was occupying it. His executors sold it in 1921.
     Its title deeds from 1808 to the 1920s were donated to  Hob Hill
     School by an owner in the 1980s. It is significant in the street scene.



 

44. Beech Cottage (Coalpit Lane, opposite the beginning of the public  footpath to Upper Longdon)


 

This is a double-fronted 2-storey brick-built house of good proportions.
It is the sole survivor of several 19th-century, and earlier, houses once
in Coalpit Lane, and is a prominent item in the street scene.
