It started as a simple story of five cottages on the edge of the township, and turned into something much more. They were the homes of gardeners, and shoemakers and might seem nothing very remarkable but they are full of our history, and have a bit of a mystery.
And while they were demolished sometime in the 1860s they have left their foot print just off Oswald Road to this day.
