The weaving cottages of Linen workers differ from those of woollen weavers in the position of the loom within the house. Linen looms are generally in the basement because the damp air makes it less likely that the yarn will snap during weaving. Nipping Row is an example of these houses with basement windows (Bayliss 1995,54). In 1806 there were 14 weavers in the township of Hoyland Swaine but it isn't specified with they were linen or wool weavers (Hey 1985,241). Linen weaving was mostly centred on Barnsley. The outlying craft industry sites may have been early examples before the industry became centralised. There is no legibility of the earlier assarted landscape in these cottages. There has been some modern infilling of the cottage gardens.
