Inscription

[8 inches x 10 inches, verso, handwritten in black ink:] Mill Village - Harris - Coventry Town / One of the largest and best preserved early / villages - the date is uncertain; but the houses, / although certainly later than those of about / 1809 and about 1810 at Hope, are probably / not as late as the mill of 1851. The site / planning of the group is as good as the / design of the individual cottages [enlargement, typed label, bottom right:] MILL VILLAGE / Harris, Coventry Town / One of the largest and best preserved early villages.
