On Kirk Cottages is a waterhead dated ‘T. M. 1829’. Kirk Cottages is a terrace of three brick-built houses which may possibly have replaced earlier ones on the same site. A windmill once stood in a field close to where Kirkway is today, and a chapel which stood nearby, built under the auspices of Basingwerk Abbey prior to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, gave Kirkway its name. There is evidence, in the stonework of the wall facing Earlston Library, of a pre-existing passageway and this may be the footpath seen in this painting.
