History of 1 - 3 Hauxton Road

Listed building:

Cottage, of several building periods, but mostly late C17. C19 alterations and C20 enlargement. Timber framed, exposed, with rendered infill and steeply pitched tiled roofs.

Fanny Wale in Shelford Parva describes at this location ‘in the angle of the road to Hauxton’, a white thatched cottage lived in by Joe Austin, the bricklayer, and son of Thomas Austin who had lived at The  Prince Regent.

Fanny describes several cottages near this location and includes a drawing of them. But by the end of the 20th century most seem to have been replaced.

She writes that these cottages belong to Mr G Austin and the distant ones to Mrs J Wisbey. A two-roomed cottage called The Bird-Cage’ is inhabited by the deaf and dumb man in the yard behind no.1 of the row – Widow Cox of Hauxton lives there – in no.2 lived Mr and Mrs Moss Covill she died in 1914. Her maiden name was Pilgrim.
