03 - Ivy Cottage, Fern Cottage, Leake Road
This property was built along with the school next door by Earl Howe in 1829 for use by the Headmaster of that school. He was paid £30 per annum.
The original house had an entrance porch identical to that of the school. In recent times the cottage has undergone several modifications.
The cottage is mentioned in early Nottinghamshire travel guides.
To the left another cottage by the name of Fern Cottage, once owned by the Stocker family who originally ran the gypsum mine to the rear of the Royal British Legion building. Many old people remember Mrs Stocker wearing a frilly white cap and handing out the Poor Relief money through the small window immediately adjacent to the pavement.
