The character of the demolished houses in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century court developments in Atherstone and Coventry has been established from a variety of sources. Typically they had one-room plans with one or two bedrooms upstairs and, in Coventry, sometimes a 'top shop' on a third floor. The living rooms in Atherstone had distinctive internal fittings, with a closed-off pantry, stair and coalhole at the rear. The houses in the Warwickshire courts were among the smallest examples of industrial housing recorded, though they did not include either single-room or cellar dwellings
