Apartment block on the site of Thorncliff Villa, Rastrick
Unfortunately I had not previously taken a photograph of the old house, which was shown on the 1854 1:500 map and was quite large. The 1958-9 1:1250 map shows half of it as being a surgery; the other half was presumably the doctor's house. A later edition shows it divided into two houses.

New houses, Thornhill Road, Rastrick
Most of the houses in the street are 19C terrace houses, but here there was only two old houses and the site has been redeveloped.

Steps from Denham Street to Bramston Street, Rastrick
Not an old footpath, but it seems that this part of the hillside has never been built on and probably so many people walked down the slope that the council were eventually persuaded to make some steps.

Bramston Street (A643), Rastrick
This road was made in the late 19C. It was as a wider, better graded route than Thornhill Road, which was originally a private road belonging to the Thornhill estate. In the mid-20C Bramston Street was 'promoted' to A road status, replacing Rastrick Common / Bridge End. From old maps it seems that the modern houses on the left were built on a vacant hillside, and did not replace old slum houses.
