Although these look like standard terraced houses at first glance, they are in facts flats. These are very typical late Victorian examples of the "Tyneside Flats". With one flat on each floor, they were a very economical method of housing the workers employed in the industries of 19th century Tyneside. The two front doors side by side are a big giveaway.
