A rank of thatched 17th century cottages once stood on this site, occupied in the early 19th century by cloth workers. In front was a raised gravelled footwalk with pitched pathways leading out from the front doors. At each end was an alleyway – the one on the west, next to Lisbon Place, led to Penney’s Yard buildings, the other on the east passed between a narrow row of dwellings known as Barrett’s Buildings. In 1876 the thatched cottages were demolished and replaced a few years later with a new rank of dwellings known as Carlton Terrace, the two alleyways and Barretts Buildings being retained. In 1963 the whole site, including Barrett’s Buildings and Penneys Buildings at the rear were demolished, together with the neighbouring houses in Lisbon Terrace, for the development of the Marjory Whimster Home in the late 1970s. The raised pavement was also removed at this time.
