17C cottages, Burton-in-Kendal, Cumbria
Burton-in-Kendal is just a few miles to the north of where we stayed on our recent visit to the north-west. The village seems to be rather run-down, though we had an excellent meal in the friendly local pub, The King's Arms. The village has a number of interesting old buildings including this pair of cottages, which are Grade II-listed. They are thought to date from the 17th century. I don't think I have ever seen such substantial supporting pillars for the projecting upper storey. There have been some modern updates which obviously happened long before the current planning laws were introduced.
