Thanks MPG for finding that, a very usefull link !

Twenty cottages eh, shows how the memory fades, I thought it just half a dozen or so. Maybe thats as cottages then were rather smaller than we may think now. I'll take a proper visit next time I'm out West.

Still seems a small number of houses hence miners, I guess they were intended for the mine management/foremen etc.

And yes I am a romantic, "never let the facts spoil a good story" !!
