012.10 Coliers dwellings belonging to the Lessees of the minerals on "Carnbroe". The distinction of "Low" is taken in preference to "Old" , as the "High Carnbroe Rows" Traces 5.XIII-13, have some pretensions to the distinction "Old" from being older than these. In short, these, like all Colliery houses have no fixed proper name, likes of Farm Steadings. "High" & "Low" are used to both places so is "Old" to both. The Proprietors Agents know nothing about such places, & the Lessees seldom care what they are called.
The Road to these houses from Shirrell is doubtful whether it should be Public or not. The Public claims right, & the Proprietors resist it. It has therefore been shewn as an occupation Road on Trace.
