Statement of Significance produced in 2023 for the semi-detached properties No.'s 36 & 38 Knutsford Rd in advance of proposed demolition. The houses are not listed, not locally listed and are not located within a Conservation Area. A building appears on the 1841 Tithe map for Chorley in the approximate location of the existing pair of semi-detached houses. The study concludes that No. 36 Knutsford Rd originated as a two storey early 19th century cottage and at the time of survey was in poor condition. No. 38 is a rebuilding on the site of an earlier structure and dates to the late 19th century.
