View of Old Rose Cottage in Victoria Road which stood opposite the end of Bank Street, at this point popularly known as the Old Hill. Here it is shown when still being occupied as a dwelling house very early in the twentieth century. Many houses of this type were built in Morley during the eighteenth century. They were single storey; had large coigns at the corners; thin sandstone blocks for the walls; narrow sandstone slabs for the roof slates; a central doorway and a chimney on each end wall. After being abandoned as a dwelling house the building was used as a place of storage for the nearby farm. In spite of becoming a listed building in the mid 1980s, no improvements were made to it and it was demolished late in 1999.
