The picturesque Arlington Row cottages in Bibury were built in 1380 as a monastic wool store. This was then converted into a row of weavers' cottages in the 17th century.
The cloth produced at Arlington Row was sent to Arlington Mill on the other side of Rack Isle. The cloth was then hung on wooden timber frames on Rack Isle after being degreased at Arlington Mill.
Today, the cottages are let to private tenants, with one of the cottages available as a holiday let.
Arlington Row is known the world over and attracts visitors from every corner of the globe.
Many thanks for all your views,comments and favs,always much appreciated.
What a romantic stretch of buildings! Fav. I think I've seen them from across the river (which I forgot it's name), but remember Bilbery where we went several with my son and famiy when we visited him in the UK.
Lovely composition of this (to me) very familiar scene.
I remember some years ago one tenant owned a very bright yellow car (think old BT van yellow) and parked it outside his cottage. This caused outrage amongst tourists because it was impossible for them to get a photo without it in. It looks as if he's either given up or moved out.
