Back street between Hugh Street (houses on left) and Glebe Street (houses on right) in the Smawthorne area of Castleford. These and surrounding streets of 'two up, two down' red brick terraces were mainly built in the five years either side of 1900. The area was the subject of a renewal scheme in the early 1990s, with new roofs, windows, brick cleaning and repointing, new back yard walls and gates, plus pedestrian-friendly street resurfacing, to prolong the life of the houses in what is a very popular area to live.
