DESIGNS FOR THE ERECTION OF ORNAMENTAL COT- 
TAGES, ON GENTLEMEN’S ESTATES. 
In all extensive estates the beauty of the prospects is greatly augmented by the 
erection of neat ornamental cottages in suitable situations ; which, besides the 
beauty of their appearance, furnish comfortable habitations for the labouring classes. 
The wood cut represents one of a number of double cottages, built by Sir E. F. 
Broomliead, Bart., at Thurlby, a small village on the road from Newark to 
Lincoln. 
Each of these cottages contains two dwellings. In front, betwixt it and the 
road, (from which it is separated by a green hedge and a deep ditch), is a garden 
belonging to both, and only divided by a walk down the middle. Behind is an 
entire yard to each house, fitted up with a pigsty, and every other convenience. 
The entrance to each dwelling is ^from its own yard, and a road is left closed with 
a gate, at each end of the garden, by which the yard is entered, and coals and other 
articles brought in.
