Golcar cottages

The old part of Golcar is built on the hillside. Mainly weavers cottages built into the hillside so they are shallow from back to front, while often three or four stories high - at the front; at the back there may be only one or at most two stories above ground level. They all have the characteristic rows of narrow windows to maximise the light, particularly on the upper floors where the weaving etc was done.
