Newburn Crescent was laid out in the 1930's as a loop connecting two older streets of terraced houses. The houses were built with metal framed bay windows, but all of these appear to have been replaced with modern upvc. Opposite in the 1950's were allotments, but these have now been built over. To the rear of the houses was greenery and only the railway line stood between them and open countryside. A glance at the OS map will reveal just how far Newburn Crescent is from the open country some 70 years later.
