43-45 Blanch Croft is part of an attractive terrace of eight cottages built by the Melbourne Friendly Society or "Sick Club" in 1795. The cottages were rented to club members, many of whom were framework knitters working at home. So each cottage was provided with one or two long windows to give good light for the knitting shops
