I have followed this thread with great interest to see if anyone could shed some light on when the houses to the right of the Barn (it has always been known as that, The "Coach House " was a little nicety that Tom Mullhall had carved when he moved in there in the late 70s or early 80s)
All the houses to the right of the barn were demolished and then rebuilt at different times with the end one (Atarah's Picture) being built in 1934 and was the home of Mr Hinchcliffe, retired Headmaster of Peel Park School.
