10 Firwood Fold, Grade I listed thatched cottage in Bolton, England
The 10 Firwood Fold residence features traditional English architectural elements with thick stone walls and a carefully maintained thatched roof covering the structure.
Built in the 16th century, this cottage served as the birthplace of Samuel Crompton, who lived there from 1753 to 1758 before inventing the spinning mule.
The cottage represents a prime example of traditional English rural architecture, preserving construction methods and materials from pre-industrial Britain.
Regular maintenance of the thatched roof requires specialized craftsmen who replace sections of the natural material every fifteen to twenty years.
The cottage stands near The Bunk, a former industrial reservoir that has transformed into a natural habitat for native plant species.
