These terraced houses on Newmarket Road would have been regarded as two steps up from the houses shown yesterday:
1) they have small front forecourts/gardens
2) the front rooms have bay windows
Notice also the simple decorative brickwork above the bay window and below the roof guttering.

Thanks to Chips I can now recognise these houses as Victorian...with back to bakc or "shared" chimneys!
ReplyDeleteThe houses on Kings Road are also Victorian - just a different style!
ReplyDeleteDon't confuse the back-to-back chimneys with back-to-back houses! Those had another house built on to the back of it, so there was no back door! I don't think there were any of those in Ashton, but there are still many surviving in Yorkshire towns, such as Huddersfield and Leeds.
i dont know this are very well but i notice they seem to get up earlier than the ones in hurst knoll .thats unless the back curtains are still drawn ,lol .
ReplyDeleteThere definitely were some back to back houses in Ashton. The ones I remember were on Turner Lane just after Warre Street. They had only one door and shared a back wall with the house built on to the rear. These particular houses were known locally as The Belt Row. They had a row of shared privies along the pathway than ran through from Warre St to Winton St. Shaw's Brushworks was next door.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, Meg. The back-to-backs were long gone by the time I came to Ashton! Strangely, I have heard no mention of them previously. A close look, at an old map suggests that were more back-to-backs on the site of the current Arcades shopping centre.
ReplyDeleteShared privies eh!
ReplyDeleteThere were remnants of these here and there in the early 1970's and I had the unique experience of using one.
also I notice on the larger picture the ludicrous practice of pointing/repairing only 'your' side of the chimney, leaving the other side pointless.
ReplyDeleteIndeed
Has anyone got any information pictures of the houses/streets on Union Rd before the Hillgate estate was built in the 1970's ?.
ReplyDeleteI am sure when i was a child there was an old church/school built where he indian community centre now stands.
Any information would be much appreciated
