Abstract:		 The cottage was constructed in c.1816/17 by the Newport Pagnell Canal Company alongside the entrance lock to the canal - a branch off the Grand Junction Canal at Linford Wharf - to house their toll collector / lock keeper. Following the closure of the Newport canal in 1864, the lock was filled in, becoming part of the cottage garden, and the property was sold by auction in 1867. Until at least the start of WW1, the cottage was let to a succession of tenants. The two-storey cottage is constructed of brick, beneath a slated roof, with chimney stacks at each end. From the north only the upper floor is visible, with its central entrance. From the south, both storeys are visible, with a central ground-floor entrance. Apart from a flat-roofed, single-storey west extension added in the 1960s, the cottage retains its original external appearance, though windows have been replaced with modern UPVC casements and the original living room window has been replaced with a UPVC bay window, beneath a flat roof. Internally, the layout appears largely unchanged, retaining its three original fireplaces, quarry tiled floors and many other features. The single-storey outbuilding south of the cottage is constructed of brick, beneath a hipped gable slated roof with a single chimney stack. It was probably built at the end of the 19th century, replacing a larger structure, probably contemporary with the cottage. Internally, the outbuilding comprises two rooms, a workshop and a store. Its function remains uncertain.
