The Red House, The Green

Probably built c.1770 for Henry Waters, a "hostman", or his successor William. Their family occupied the house until 1799, when it was sold to John Walker (d.1822), then to francis Peacock, a coal-owner, and in 1858 to John Allen, another industrialist. In the 1880s it became a children's home. In 1897 it was replaced by Hawthorn Villas and Park Villas, also now pulled down.
