Horseshoe Lane

Numbers 5 & 7

The two cottages on the right of the photograph above are numbers 5 and 7 Horseshoe Lane as they appeared in 1969.  Number 5 is the one on the left.

Both cottages were built before 1840 as they appear on the 1840 Tithe Map.  At that time they were both owned by Thomas Wise, and he was listed as occupying one of them and Sarah Hopton, the other.  We suspect Thomas Wise occupied the larger of the two houses as he was also the owner of other properties nearby.
