Pen and ink drawing by John Garnett showing an 18th century, Grade II listed stone cottage situated at the top of Booth's Yard, on the right, formerly Hammerton Fold. It has always been known at Farrer's cottage after Lowtown butcher, William Farrer, bought it in 1867, along with an adjoining cottage and other properties in nearby Summersgill Fold. As far back as 1841 the cottage was occupied by manufacturer of woollen cloth, John Armitage and his family. The doorway has a stone surround where there are a series of small holes. These were made by spindles used to dry yarn and are thought to date from the time John Armitage was here.
