035.02 | A tolerable sized but very irregular built village, situated near the northern extremity of the parish, most of the houses originally forming it are one storey, thatched and tenanted by agricultural laborers. but since the Railway has been opened and the consequent working of the vast coalfields throughout the parish, the importance of the village has considerably improved, both in size and appearance. a number of substantial two storey houses having been erected, the ground floors of which are used as shops, there is the parish Church, School & Manse, together with the Manse and School of the Free Church, Post Office, and two public houses, in addition to the numerous shops. There is a small round artificial eminence a short distance north of the parish church, said to be one of the ancient seats of jurisdiction and a little to the east of the same is the Holy Well of St Laurence, to which Saint the old parish church of Slamanan was dedicated. these are the only antiques which the village is said to possess. A small g Gas works has been established in the Village during the past year, so that the interior of most of the houses is now lighted with gas. |
