The History Of Laundry Cottages: Laundry Cottages, located just off Church Street in Alfreton are historic 19th-century terraced worker's homes tightly interwoven with the local community's domestic and industrial growth. The cottages were built as a parade of grey brick houses. They were crafted in typical late-Georgian or early-Victorian style, originally featuring neat sash windows, uniform doorframes, and a central archway to access the rear. The 1841 Tithe Map: Early records indicate the cottages sat adjacent to Church Pightle (a small patch of town land), an orchard, a pasture, and a stackyard. This highlights the semi-rural nature of Church Street before late-Victorian development took over. Mary Mabson (1861-1881): One of the most famous historical residents was Mary Mabson. She lived in the row for decades, working as a local laundress and nurse. Her occupation reflects the naming of the cottages and highlights the manual trade character of this area.
