McKay, K., 2013, Pound Cottage, Bridford (Personal Comment). SDV356474.
Pound Cottage appears to be mid-late 19th century. The name may indicate a connection to a pound, or enclosure of some sort. The building is interesting as the cartographic evidence shows it was set within a unusual narrow plot of land, at the eastern approach to the settlement. The road appears to narrow at the eastern end of the plot, and there may have been an entrance to the plot here.
It is a good example of a vernacular cottage.
Ordnance Survey, 2014, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV355681.
The modern map shows that this is now all one dwelling. Appears to have been some alteration at the eastern end.
The narrow enclosed plot is no longer depicted.
