Smithy Carr, Burncross.
Now demolished Smithy Carr consisted of a small group of cottages, the one shown here with a lean-to greenhouse and extensive cottage garden. Smithy Carr was first recorded in the early seventeenth century when it was said there was a cottage of two bays and a garden surrounded by a common called Smithy Carr Common. ‘Carr’ is from the Old Norse word kjarr meaning a marsh, in this case where a smithy was located.
