| C19th Weavers cottages, Coventry, with 'top shop' visible on third floor |
In a
post earlier this month, reference was made to the weavers cottages built by JJ Cash in the mid-1800's to house their workers, as exampled in the photo' above. The third floor of these cottages was given over to a long, communal space filled with light known as 'top shops', where names tapes such as Daphne Bryant's would have been produced.
If your curiosity has been piqued by this style of architecture you might find the following link of interest
