Well they look consistent with brick built "Victorian" terracesA cottage is a "small house usually in the country".More pedantry from me maybe but it's been a puzzler for me for years!

Looking on street view down the side of the building on the left as if going up towards the Calls the brick changes slightly into what looks like a more Georgian type. I wonder if this is a remnant of the older dwellings that are referred to as Georgian?

The OED has several statements as to the use of the word cottage. Two of them are : 1. A dwelling-house of small size and humble character, such as is occupied by farm-labourers, villagers, miners, etc.Historically the term is found first applied to the dwelling-places or holdings which under the feudal system were occupied by the cottars, cottiers, cotsets, or coterells, and by the labourers of a farmstead; dwellings for the labouring classes in rural and urban districts were, under this name, the subject of various legal enactments, such as 31 Eliz. c. 7, 15 Geo. III, c. 32, etc., and, when under a certain rental, were exempted from paying church-rate, poor-rate, etc.; with the disappearance of legal regulations and exemptions, and under the influence of 4, the term has become more vague in its application.2.‘The term cottage has for some time past been in vogue as a particular designation for small country residences and detached suburban houses, adapted to a moderate scale of living, yet with all due attention to comfort and refinement. While, in this sense of it, the name is divested of all associations with poverty, it is convenient, inasmuch as it frees from all pretension and parade and restraint’ ( Penny Cycl. Supp. (1845) I. 426). In this sense, the appellation cottage orné ( cottage ornée) was in vogue, when picturesqueness was aimed at.Neither of these specifically restrict the use to the country, though obviously many of the buildings so-described will be in the country.

According to a tweet from Leeds Civic Trust, work on restoring the building is progressing. Maybe Leo could get a current picture?

Someone on a FB group was talking to some of the builders there the other day. They estimated work would be finished by May.

Hiya Dalehelms

.

Your post reminded me that I've not been to that area for a little while so I went there yesterday (Jan 9 2015) and took some photos. These are 3 of them (there is a limit of 3 to a post so I shall add 3 others in my next post).

These are 3 more photos that I took at the site on January 9 2015.

Thank you, Leo, for taking these recent photographs. It was interesting to compare those taken in January 2015 with the ones you took in August 2011. I look forward to you completing the set with a May 2015 image when the pub opens!
