Number 31. Probably built in the early 19th Century (possibly earlier) for workers in the quarry, this house was sold by the Lanesborough Estate into private ownership in June 1922. The house itself now extends over the footprint of #29 with #27’s land now under the garden.

As well as the garage extension, (which now extends over the property’s old pathway up to their old rear gate), the main chimney has been shortened over the years; the chimney seen at the far end of the building likely belonged to the long-demolished #27.
At the end of the Lanesborough era in the 1920s, the Street family were in residence, as they had been since the 1890s. The lady of house, Martha Street, was a well know local midwife. Sadly one of their sons, George Edward, was killed in action at Ypres in World War 1; his name is inscribed on the memorial that now overlooks the house from the top of Castle Hill.
