The two four-roomed cottages were constructed in 1886 for William Back, a mariner. By 1899 the property had been purchased by John Bateman and remained in the family until c1920, although ownership was shared with Frederick Hollis from 1910. No. 13 became a lodging house in 1976, and No. 11 in 1986. Both since renumbered as No. 13.
