Built as miners homes for Dixon’s pits, the cottages were arranged in 4 blocks of 4 semi detached. Brick and slate built, they were immediately beside the collieries in High Blantyre, with the railway and Dixons Pit 2 behind them and the railway bridge and Dixons Pit 1 in front (now where Priestfield Cemetery is). Today, the cottages would have been to the right of where the entrance to Technology Avenue is at Hamilton Technology Park.
