Shown on 5 historical map sheets, the earliest the 1795 "To Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn Bart ... the map of the six counties of North Wales is most humbly inscribed by his obedient humble servant" (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru – The National Library of Wales).
Cadw's description
Location
On the N bridgehead of the Pont-ar-Ddyfi facing S across the river towards Machynlleth.
History
The cottages were probably built at various periods from the early-mid C19, with later alterations. Nos 5 and 6 were probably the first to be built, in the later C18.
Exterior
Nos 5 and 6 are a pair at the E end of the row, set higher, and perhaps earlier in date. No 5 occupies a single bay, with the entrance on the right sharing the wide opening with No 6. Door is a stop chamfered frame. Pair of modern timber casement windows on ground and first floors. Blue brick stack.
Reason for designation
Included as a good group of traditional cottages in vernacular style of the early C19, in an important and conspicuous location by the bridgehead.
