NO 2
No 2 Blakemoor Gate renewed
There is the outline of a door to the right of the existing door.so there may have been a couple of different families in this building at one stage
The rear of No 2 This is an extension of No 2. Houses were constructed as families grew and sometimes close to the head of the family.
Probably Farm Buildings
This was probably just animal sheds but the last photograph shows substantial walls for a small area. Would have been reconstructed from a pile of stones. No chimney can be seen in any of the walls so most probably not a dwelling.
2026 Having now seen a similar restoration of houses at Bleakmoor Flat on the Stiperstones i would say that this building could have been anything. I would say that my research would say it was jut an animal building but layout and thickness of the walls was probably not as we see it now.
