Cottages adjoining the Cammarch
These are still standing but have been lying empty for
years. It is believed they were called Tycros. They appear in the census from
1851 and disappear in 1901.
There were cottages on same side of road as the Cammarch
Hotel where the Railway bridge is now – these were demolished to make way for
the railway which was opened in 1867
.These can be seen on the old plan of the village and appear to form a village
centre at the bottom of the hill on both sides of the road before the river
bridge. Looking on the early census, there are a range of dwelling names which
do not match any current dwellings. From the information given re occupations.
It is clear these were small cottages for manual labourers who were tenants.
The landowner would have benefitted from compulsory purchases by the railway
and the tenants would have had to find alternative accommodation.
