These houses were built by the local authority between the two World Wars as part of a small housing estate. They are two-up, two-down dwellings with a coal store and bathroom off the kitchen; the sitting room was heated by a cast iron cooking range with back boiler; the lavatory was upstairs. At times the kitchen used to "run wick wi' black-clocks". No housing development is shown here on the 1940s OS map. Here we are at the southernmost extent of Pudsey's built-up-area quite close to Fulneck Moravian village and school.
