'''On the hillside of Colhugh Valley, there are a row of houses situated at Hillhead in Llantwit Major. The houses were built in the early years of the nineteenth century for the poor of the parish. With the introduction of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, a workhouse was opened in Bridgend and the houses became surplus to requirements and were then sold as private residences. ''' Llantwit Major came under the Bridgend and Cowbridge PLU. Each unit was originally divided into two separate upper and lower accommodation, the upstairs entrance was from the west and the entrance to the lower accommodation came from the east.
