Ash Estate cottages on the corner of Ashbank road and Salters Lane
In 1854 Job Meigh built a pair of labourers cottages at the corner of Salters Lane and Ash Bank Road.
One of the occupiers was William Bonnell who was probably employed as the estate carpenter between about 1841 and 1871. He originally lived at Lawsons Farm on Brookhouse Lane but by 1871 was living in one of the new cottages.
