Recent history
For many years the house was semi-detached, half of it belonging to the Leeson family. It was sold when Ethel Cheetham (née Leeson)
had to move into an old people's home in the early 1990s. The family share was then sold to the neighbours who converted it into a single dwelling. It is believed to be unique.
