We live at Spring Cottage, Whittle Hole and have the deeds relating to the purchase of the plot in 1867. The land included four cottages and lists the owners - George Atkins is indeed one of them. These cottages were in a state of ruin by the early 1900s and were demolished in 1910. Elsewhere on the Internet is a good picture of them.
