My husbands family come from that area. His great grandparents, grandparents and parents all lived in those cottages. There were 5 cottages, The Manse, School house and of course the Baptist Chapel. When my husband, Nigel Smith, was small he lived number 5, great nan Charlotte Phipps who died in 1965 lived in number 1 and Nan & Grandad (Maysell and Sid Smith ) lived in number 4. They also had family in The Lea, just down the road. There may be some photo's in the mother-in Laws attic, I'll have a look next time we're there. The cottages were all owed by the Baptist Chapel so they might have a record of who lived there.
