High Riley Cottages, up sandy Lane, the next one is Higher Hey.

the next oldest buildings are at the bottom of Warner St, just before the Warner Arms, after that its the rest of Warner St and Oak St, Abbey St, most of the buildings there, are around 1810-1820, the Red Lion was the first, built by Jacob Lang, who had previously owned a pub in Grange Lane called the Red Lion. In the 1841 census it shows Jacob Lang in the Red Lion, but that was his son.

St James Church is not a habitable building, cold, damp and drafty.

Without looking in my records 1640 ish, High Riley Cottages are the oldest by about 5 years, there is a date stone in one of the cottages.

Don't drink intoxicating liquids, first and last time I was in a pub, it was on fire, and I did'nt rush to get there, hoping it would burn down.
